Founding Members

The Founding Members are the individuals who brought the Maritime Law Association (UAE) into existence. United by a shared vision, they came together to establish an independent and collaborative platform dedicated to the advancement of maritime and mercantile law in the UAE, while strengthening the country’s position within the global maritime legal community.

 

Their involvement shaped the Association’s purpose, values, and overall direction from the outset. By laying strong institutional foundations and setting a clear long-term framework, the Founding Members enabled meaningful engagement with public authorities, industry stakeholders, and international maritime organizations — foundations that continue to guide the Association today.
