About Us - Winson

Rooted in China.
Trusted Globally

For nearly a decade in the UAE, and with deep roots across China, Winson Law Offices has been the trusted counsel for corporates, state-owned enterprises, and high-net-worth individuals building between China, the Middle East, Africa, and the markets that connect them.

Winson was founded the moment its first lawyer became the first licensed Chinese lawyer in the UAE. That singular beginning has grown into the largest Chinese-owned law firm in the Middle East, a trilingual team of 150+ lawyers now serving clients across 20 countries, from China to the Middle East and beyond.

Trusted Where It Matters

Winson is the sole GCC-based Council member of the Belt and Road Legal Service Alliance, a designated legal aid institution for the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia and the Consulate-General of China in Jeddah, and a partner of the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration.

Through international legal networks including Eurojuris, Antea, AEA, the International Bar Association and the International Trademark Association, we connect clients with trusted cross-border resources. As the first overseas legal practice base of China University of Political Science and Law, Winson combines international reach, regional insight and strong institutional connections.

Outcomes That Speak for Themselves

We have served 1,000+ global enterprises, recovering nearly $1.5 billion. Our landmark projects include the Emirates' Dubai World Central facilities (RMB 5.1B), CRRC's Saudi monorail, Deli Group's Egypt investment, and the Tonino Lamborghini real estate project. As pioneers in dispute resolution, we achieved the first-ever enforcement of a Chinese judgment in the UAE, won a major ICC international arbitration for a state-owned mega-builder, and secured a landmark acquittal for an overseas citizen, overturning a three-year prison sentence.
