Company Description

K&L Gates is one of the largest law firms in the world with approximately 2,000 lawyers and policy professionals in more than 45 offices located across five continents, all sharing one clear vision: Our clients need more than technical legal skills.
As a fully integrated network of lawyers and policy professionals, we also deliver insightful and practical advice with unparalleled client service.

Our Doha office is one of the largest, best-known, and well-respected offices of any global law firms in Qatar. As other firms reduce headcount and exit Qatar, K&L Gates is growing and we are proud to celebrate our 13th year in Doha in 2024. Lawyers working in our Doha office, which is located in Tornado Tower, have a regional outlook and work across the wider MENA region on mandates for Qatari, regional, and international clients.

In addition to our fully bilingual offering, our clients can benefit from our global platform, as we routinely work with an international team of lawyers on projects across different jurisdictions, practice areas, and time zones. The seamless integration of our Doha practices with our other offices throughout the world ensures our clients' legal requirements are met with the highest quality service and skill wherever they happen to be doing business.

Please note:
Disclaimer/Note/ warning

The Qatar Chamber does not verify or guarantee the actual existence of any company listed on this platform. Therefore, we strongly advise conducting independent due diligence before engaging in any business activity with international companies. The platform is designed for assistance purposes and as a directory of company names, the Qatar Chamber will not be held liable in any way if a company listed on the platform is found to be fraudulent.

So, we strongly advise verifying the credentials of listed companies, especially if you are engaging in business for the first time. Verification can be done through one of the following methods:

  1. For Qatari companies, we recommend contacting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for further guidance.
  2. For companies outside Qatar, they can contact the relevant Chamber of Commerce in their home country or their country’s embassy in Qatar (Commercial Attaché).
  3. Any other verification method.

The Chamber would like to point out that some (national) companies have fallen into the trap of fraudulent business operations by taking data from websites, where it was discovered that the company that responded to Purchase Order and to which amounts were transferred is fake. Therefore, we advise that the company should not rely on Purchase Orders or phone calls, but rather the safest and best way is to verify using the methods mentioned above, and the most secure way is to conclude agreements that include details of business transactions and the obligations and rights of each party.

For Qatari companies, we recommend contacting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for further guidance:
