Established in 2018 in Beirut, Lebanon, MP Lawyers and Legal Consultants (“MP Lawyers”) has quickly forged a name as one of the most prominent and well-respected law firms in Lebanon. The Lebanon office emerged out of the rapid regional growth of Kuwaiti law firm, Meysan Partners, which was launched in 2015, and has since become one of the most successful law firms indigenous to the Middle East. Building out from its base in Kuwait, Meysan Partners has significantly expanded its Middle East regional presence in the last few years, including into the UAE, KSA, Egypt, as well as Lebanon.
