Firm Profile


With our roots in Shipping, Oil, Commerce and International Trade in Aden the Law Offices of Sheikh Tariq Abdullah have grown into a powerful small firm. The offices, after steady growth, are large enough to handle many major cases. The offices combine local expertise with international knowledge, maintaining the British tradition and standard combined with a general western style practice.

We advise our foreign clients in every area of law in the Republic of Yemen and have the expertise in solving any problem or matter that may concern a foreign company or a foreign individual in Yemen.

Often the foreign private sector finds dealing with the public sector, the central government departments, the local authorities and the civil service a frustrating experience. This is known to be typical of Yemen. Our office has a long and diverse history of easing and lessening such frustrations. We understand the sensitivities of decisions in a political context, the exact procedures required to be followed, the right level of consultation and the need for confidentiality. Empowered with this knowledge, the Law Offices of Sheikh Tariq Abdullah are able to guide our international clients to success in their business endeavours, negotiating amicable settlements, avoiding lengthy disputes, heavy costs and unnecessary delays in courts.

Our outstanding reputation and experience is internationally known, and we are able to provide a quality of service that cannot be bettered in Yemen.
