Sudanese Commercial Law Office (SCLO) was founded in 2007 by Wael Omer Abdin, with the aim of providing business-oriented legal services to foreign businesses and organisations operating in Sudan or doing business with parties based in Sudan. Today, SCLO has developed a network of 15 affiliated offices across Sudan, as well as a presence in the UK. We have extensive experience in domestic and cross-border litigation and transactions. Our clients range from multinational corporations to foreign and international non-governmental organisations. We frequently serve as Local Counsel to international law firms, particularly Magic Circle and other City of London firms. We endeavour to deliver legal services in a timely, professional, and cost-effective manner. Through our committed and focused approach, we have achieved a reputation for quality and reliability among our clients from across the globe. The SCLO team is entirely bilingual, enabling us to work with clients who speak English and/or Arabic. Many members of the SCLO team are educated in the UK. Furthermore, SCLO’s Founder and Managing Partner, Mr. Abdin, is a dual-qualified lawyer in Sudan and England and Wales. SCLO’s Managing Associate, Ms Dalia Obeid, is currently in the process of becoming a qualified lawyer in England and Wales, in addition to being a qualified lawyer in Sudan. We provide the full range of legal services to our clients, who operate across a variety of industry sectors.
