Truly grasping our clients’ agenda runs through every aspect of the vision and strategy for Mantle Law. For us, it’s all about really understanding what our clients need from us. And that means listening. Our clients know that they can trust us with their biggest challenges. But they also know that we’ll be turning all of that hard-won know-how into ever more creative ways to support them in the future.
Plus, in sharp contrast to our more institutional peers, there’s no digital transformation for us to adopt. Embedded in the world of now, we rely on innovation and technology to achieve better, faster results.

What they’re saying about us.
“The large international law firms fail to recognise the pressures that businesses operating in this region are under, and are traditionally slow to react. We expect our lawyers to be more in tune with our business; Mat and his team always deliver.”

“Mantle Law is unique within the market, it being the only construction law boutique. It therefore is able to operate in innovative ways with flexible teams which is only to the benefit of clients. Mantle Law is a new, exciting and genuinely different model which responds to clients needs by tailoring resource that suit and works best for the clients and particular cases. It does what many people have been talking about for years namely, working collaboratively with the Bar to create a team that gives the clients early access to the Bar and the Bar early access to the clients for the client’s benefit. A lot of people talk about working in a team, this new model achieves that and the results are astonishingly good.”

Mantle in the community.
While we’re also active in London and beyond, we’re firmly embedded in the UAE professionally and personally which is why we are so passionate about giving something back to the local community, the focus of our pro bono efforts.
As a new firm, we’re less encumbered by traditional working practices. We can offer our people flexibility over their working arrangements which helps enhance the diversity of our team, compared to other organisations.
And with the technology and agile working methods we’ve adopted, we can minimise our impact on the environment too.
