Samer Qudah, Managing Partner of Al Tamimi & Company, expressed deep pride in being selected as an official partner for COP 28. He emphasized the firm’s roots in the UAE and recognized the opportunity to make a substantial impact by providing legal counsel at COP 28 and beyond.

Qudah stated, “As a firm, we are committed to making a positive impact on society, and partnering with COP 28 aligns with our vision and strategic objectives. We are dedicated to contributing meaningfully to sustainable practices through initiatives such as being a member of the United Nations Global Compact, engaging in local communities, and offering a comprehensive pro bono program that provides access to our lawyers across the region. Through our existing programs and collaboration with COP 28, we aim to have a broader influence on the business community and society at large.”

Al Tamimi & Company’s commitment to societal impact extends beyond its role as a legal advisor to COP 28. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the firm actively aligns its operations with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), contributing to global sustainability and social progress by incorporating these goals into its operations and strategies.
