Do you have any pointers for an associate looking to move to Dubai?

I am in my seventh year of practice. I was admitted to the bar in March of 2015. My main areas of practice are Corporate, Commercial, Banking and Finance (mainly asset finance - aviation), and Projects. 

I am looking for a paying placement in Dubai (currently based in Kenya working at a Chambers, Legal500 and ILFR ranked firm that is a member of an international network of firms).

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Why? The restrictions relating to Sharia Law or?

Where are you licensed? I’ve heard Dubai only takes lawyers from the UK/ US if you’re coming from another country. You could also get licensed there. I think Projects might be a good way to go based on what I know. Make sure it get yourself a good recruiter.

That makes sense. I would start by reaching out to alumni from your university, particularly any that work in Dubai. Talk to a good recruiter, they should be able to help you! It will also be helpful if your intention is to get licensed in the UK after you graduate from your LLM. That way the firms see a longer pathway for you.

I do have 2,5 years of experience as a Legal Counsel in Privacy and strong referrals.
