Firm overview

Established in 2018 in Beirut, Lebanon, MP Lawyers and Legal Consultants (“MP Lawyers”) swiftly forged a reputation as one of the most prominent and well-respected law firms in Lebanon. We were formed as part of the rapid regional growth of Kuwaiti law firm, Meysan Partners, which has become one of the most successful law firms indigenous to the Middle East, with significantly expanded presence in the last few years, including into the UAE, KSA, as well as Lebanon.

Our lawyers provide counsel on complex transactional matters that clients expect only from large international law firms, as we act mostly as lead transaction counsel, while other firms tend to do more local counsel mandates. We advise a diversified client base ranging from international firms, entrepreneurs, NGOs, and private clients. Today, many clients in Lebanon are shifting from their current firms to MP Lawyers as the firm’s reputation and business ethics are attracting large and small businesses in the country.
