ATTORNEYS FOR ARABIC-SPEAKING BUSINESS CLIENTS IN NEW YORK
There is a large and vibrant Arabic-speaking business community throughout the State of New York. Our law firm includes an attorney who is fluent in both Arabic and English. We are eager to serve the needs of the New York Arabic-speaking business community.
A Focus on the New York Arabic-speaking Business Community
Our law firm generally does not handle consumer law matters such as matrimonial, personal injury and criminal defense. Instead, our focus is almost exclusively on business law, both transactions and litigation. Those are the matters we are seeking to handle for potential clients.
The State of New York has an incredibly diverse and successful Arabic-speaking business community. It ranges from Brooklyn (most notably Bay Ridge and Sunset Park) to Astoria, Queens and Yonkers in Westchester. There is virtually no end to the different categories of commercial entities in these communities, from franchises to sole-owner retail establishments, from healthcare practices to tax and accounting office, from community centers and to elementary schools.
This raises the question of how the Arabic-speaking business community can best have its legal needs met in an English-speaking country. Our firm can help meet those needs because one of our employees Salma A. Attia, Esq. is fluent in both Arabic and English.
