How to Build Your Legal Career in the UAE - With Allison Hosking and Raymond Kisswany

Since I made the move to Dubai during the pandemic one of the top questions in my DMs has been "How do I get a job in law over there? So I figured it was about time to give you some proper answers from experts in the field.
Raymond Kisswany is a fellow University of Birmingham alumni where he graduated with an LLB before making the move across the pond to obtain an LLM from Cardozo School of Law in New York. Raymond is qualified as a Solicitor Advocate in England and Wales, an Attorney-at-law in New York and currently practises in Dubai as a Partner and head of the International Trade practice at Davidson & Co.
Allison Hosking has a legal career spanning the UK, India, the US, South America and now the Middle East. Having moved to Dubai with Linklaters in 2014, Allison has since worked for al Tammimi & Company as Director of Knowledge and Legal Transformation and is currently Director of New Law at PwC Middle East.
Whether you are a student thinking about the future or a qualified lawyer strategising your next career move, this video is for you. The live event took place on zoom on 14/12/22.
