Message from Founder & CEO

English Arabic French

Intellectual property is amongst the most important assets of every enterprise. With the globalization of the world economy and commerce, the Middle East and Arab world with its young population and resources contributes significantly towards it. Some countries of the region are the most developed in the world, sought-after heavily by the investors, multi-national companies with rest of the region moving aggressively towards development. Owing to these combined factors the practice of law has also internationalized requiring experts and service providers who are available locally and act globally.

Taking stock of the sweeping changes in the region, JAH & CO. IP was founded in 1999, as a sophisticated intellectual property boutique law firm unusual among firms of its size with a vision of providing the highest quality of intellectual property prosecution and litigation services in all the Arab countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan through its own fully staffed operating offices and affiliated IP firms in mainland African continent at highly competitive fees for high value-added services with promptness, precision and transparency. JAH at its core focuses on intellectual property law and on related legal matters in these jurisdictions. What makes the firm particularly attractive to clients and different from the majority of other regional IP firm is the fact that it is not only a filing and prosecution firm but is also equipped with a litigation arm. The in-house team of litigation lawyers have the required technical background and ample experience in dealing with contentious matters. Our head office is based in Qatar undertakes and provides the so-called one window facility whereby all clients inquiries, invoices, reports and correspondence are being dealt with through one channel whilst their daily cases are being dealt by our various offices under our full coordination and supervision.
