Last week I represented Alliotts at a convention of legal and accounting professionals from 25 firms across 22 countries in Dubai for Alliott Global Alliance’s (AGA) Middle East, Africa & South Asia (MEASA) Meeting. Everyone there was focused on cross-border collaboration, business growth, and innovation.
The two-day event featured high-impact discussions, networking, and knowledge-sharing, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global business hub. Delegates visited the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the Museum of the Future before engaging in strategic and interactive sessions on client needs and business development in high-growth sectors.
Key presentations included UAE lawyer Ahmed Odeh on setting client boundaries, IT consultant Jeremy Hyman on AI in professional services, and live AI tool demos. A special session on breathwork techniques by Ali Odeh and Eliska Vaea provided stress management strategies.
AGA CEO Giles Brake highlighted the event’s success, emphasising the Alliance’s commitment to innovation, strategic thinking, and collaboration. On behalf of all who attended he expressed gratitude to speakers, guests, and local hosts Alliott Hadi Shahid and MIO Law Firm for their warm and welcoming hospitality.
The opportunity to meet with AGA associates in person, share knowledge, exchange ideas and foster enduring relationships is at the core of AGA’s ethos and its success. It’s this that enables us to be able to provide our clients with international advice and services from trusted advisers who are known to us.
