السيد للمحاماة والاستشارات القانونية

Most of our work starts here: how to enter Qatar and how to set up your company. We help you pick the right structure (a company under Qatari law, a QFC entity, a branch, or a representative office), draft the contracts that hold the venture together, and stay with you as the business grows. You get a structure you can actually run.

We act for borrowers, lenders, and sponsors, using both conventional and Shari'a-compliant structures. Our work runs from drafting the facility documents to meeting the rules of the Qatar Central Bank and, where it applies, the QFC Regulatory Authority. We keep the financing in line with the commercial deal behind it.

Property in Qatar depends on where the land sits and who is allowed to own it. We settle those questions before any money moves. We advise at every stage: buying or leasing, developing, and signing construction contracts, including disputes when they come up. We handle a freehold purchase in a designated zone and a long-term commercial lease with equal ease.

When a matter cannot be settled commercially, the first big decision is where to bring it, and we make that choice with you. We represent clients before the Qatari courts and in arbitration, including QICCA and the QFC Civil & Commercial Court, and we are honest about cost, time, and the likely outcomes. When settling serves you better than a fight, we say so.

Hiring in Qatar means dealing with the Labour Law, the sponsorship and work-permit system, and, for many employers, Qatarisation, all at once. We advise on building and running a workforce properly, from senior executive contracts to end-of-service entitlements, and we handle disputes when they arise. The QFC has its own employment rules, and we advise on those too.

Regulation in Qatar runs on two tracks, Qatari law and the QFC's own regime, and a real compliance programme has to cover both. We help companies get the right licences, meet their anti-money-laundering and data-protection duties, and avoid sanctions exposure. The goal is a programme that satisfies the regulator and still lets the business run.

A family business raises questions an ordinary company does not: who decides, who takes over, and how to keep both the business and the family intact. We advise on governance that holds up when one generation hands over to the next, on structuring wealth across countries, and on planning succession before it becomes urgent. This work is private, and we treat it that way.

Selling to the Qatari government, or to its entities, follows procurement rules that reward companies who learn them early. We advise bidders from the tender stage through award and contract, and we step in when a process goes wrong. Public-sector work rewards precision, and we bring it to both the bid and the contract.
