Our Roots Date Back to 1981.

The Salt & Associates Law Firm foundation was first laid in 1981 by Mr. Suphi Salt (the founder). He opened the doors to his first office with a mission to provide quality and expert legal assistance to clients at every step of the way, and ever since, he never looked back.

Ever since the inception of Salt & Associates Law Firm, Mr. Suphi Salt has been focused on expanding the legal team of lawyers in Iraq to serve clients better. The Salt & Associates Law Firm gradually broadened into a multi-jurisdictional law firm featuring over fifty experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable lawyers. Over the years, we have spread our roots into not just Iraq but the Middle East too.

Salt & Associates Law Firm offices are located across cities like Baghdad, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Istanbul, Muscat, Salalah, and RAK. However, because of governmental regulations, Salt & Associates operated under different names in different jurisdictions. For example, as Baitulhikma in the UAE, as Al Yahyaei & Salt in Oman, and as Salt & Associations in Iraq and UAE.

Led by Mr. Suphi Salt, Salt & Associates have focused on building an innovative, efficient and effective corporate law firm that serves clients’ best interests with robust advocacy and paves a path to stronger businesses.

Salt & Associates Law Firm has been vested in gaining a deep understanding of the Iraqi legal system with a commitment to provide unwavering support and ethical navigation of the Iraqi market. Over the four decades of being in the industry, we can proudly say that Salt & Associates is a strong and morally driven law firm that is honest and effective.

Our lawyers in Iraq and the Middle East all work with sheer transparency and in the best interest of our client. Since the first brick of the law firm was laid, our goal was to provide the best legal services to clients, ensuring that their problems are resolved efficiently. And this is precisely what you can expect from our lawyers, whether they advocate in Dubai or Bagdad.

Moreover, one of the fundamental principles that has never changed since 1981 is to better serve clients across industries and the challenge they may be up against.
