I've met associates and trainees from firms in the Middle East and have noticed they very often recruit a diverse range of candidates. From what I’ve seen with other applicants, I think the key factors tend to be a strong academic record, fluency in Arabic (both written and spoken), and a demonstrated connection to the region. The only other thing I'd say is that firms often look for candidates who can show a long-term commitment to practising in the Middle East, just because they invest significant resources in training and developing lawyers who will stay in the region.I think your ability to read and write Arabic will definitely work in your favour, as language skills are a major asset in the market. If you also have experience living, studying, or working in the Middle East (or can demonstrate a strong understanding of the region’s legal and business environment) that could further strengthen your application. If applications are still open, I’d definitely encourage you to apply. Best of luck with the process!</blockquote>
