Anyone here currently practicing at an international law firm in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Qatar ? I am a Canadian lawyer trying to lateral to the Middle East to be closer to family. Have had a tough luck securing a job there and the recruiters seems to be too busy. I interviewed at Pinsent Masons but they were looking for someone with more experience. Your advice is appreciated !
