Our Model of delivering legal services is client-centric
KLME LLP launched as a regulated law firm in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) in July 2020. As one of the UAE’s fastest-growing firms and a true innovator, KLME’s flexible structure will transform the delivery of legal services across the Middle East.
Our model combines traditional values of exceptional client service with agility and value.
We achieve this by having senior and highly-experienced lawyers deliver legal services personally: by getting it right first time, every time, our lawyers are able todeliver exceptional value.
We also give our lawyers complete discretion in managing our client relationships, including how and what you are billed. Utilising this model and investing in technology allows us to keep overheads, and what you pay, much lower.
Our lawyers are deeply invested in client outcomes because we reward them based on these. This creates exceptional relationships and outcomes for both our clients and our lawyers
