Our name says it all: our namesake, Tribonian, the architect of the Roman Civil Code, was more than a jurist. He was a trusted legal advisor to Emperor Justinian guiding him through complex legal issues and reforms. Likewise, our lawyers are known to be trusted legal advisors and solution-oriented on complex transactions.

Tribonian Law Advisors (TLA) was founded in 2012 and stands as a beacon of superior quality, unmatched expertise and exceptional client service in the Middle East legal market. At the helm is U.S.-qualified lawyer Rindala Beydoun with experience as a partner (including GCC managing partner) at leading US law firms and whose leadership pushes the boundaries of conventional legal practice. TLA specializes in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Corporate Finance and Private Equity, areas in which our partners Carlo Pianese and Emile Boulos have accrued significant experience at leading international firms such as Allen & Overy, Herbert Smith Freehills and Vinson & Elkins.
