Accessible leadership. Clear responsibility.

Founder & Managing Partner

Rashid Alketbi

UAE Advocate · Dubai

Rashid founded the firm to give clients direct access to senior legal judgment on matters that can materially affect a business, family, reputation or liberty.

He leads the firm’s legal work across disputes, regulatory matters and strategic commercial issues. His role begins with the first assessment: defining the real legal question, identifying what must be protected immediately and setting a route that the client can understand and act on.

In contentious work, Rashid coordinates the legal position, evidence and procedural strategy from early intervention through settlement, judgment or enforcement. In advisory and government-facing matters, he focuses on the lawful decision path, the quality of the documentary record and the consequences of each available option.

His working style is direct and accountable. Clients receive candid advice about merits, risk, timing and cost, including when the strongest recommendation is to narrow, postpone or resolve a dispute rather than escalate it.

Chief Operating Officer & Head of Institutional Strategy

Ali Al-Kaabi

Institutional Strategy · Client Affairs · Firm Operations

Ali brings broad operating experience across UAE public institutions, executive government, defence and private enterprise.

His career has involved high-accountability environments in which preparation, chain of responsibility and the quality of a decision can be decisive. He later spent approximately five years as chief executive of a business-centre company, adding direct experience of clients, employees, commercial operations and the practical pressures faced by founders and investors.

At Alketbi & Partners, Ali leads institutional strategy, client coordination and firm operations. He helps convert complex instructions into an organised workstream: identifying the stakeholders and authority path, coordinating information, keeping milestones visible and ensuring that the client is prepared for each decision.

Ali is not presented as a practising lawyer. Legal advice and representation remain the responsibility of the firm’s qualified advocates and legal consultants. His contribution is strategic and operational—strengthening how matters are prepared, communicated and advanced.
