Essam Al Tamimi, Chairman of Al Tamimi & Company, said, “The meeting between law firms and the UAE Ministry of Education is of utmost importance and common interest as it concerns the future of legal education and the role, we, private sector law firms, can play in supporting it.”
The committee will try to identify the skills gaps, and provide practical training opportunities at universities to bridge the difference between theory and practice.
“I firmly believe that it is our duty to collaborate with the UAE government and our peers in order to ensure the best possible platform and experience for the next generation of lawyers. This includes providing training opportunities, offering guest lectures, and exposing young lawyers to the best practical experiences with a view to providing the best exposure and legal education,” added Al Tamimi.
