The firm’s American and international platform
Attieh & Chebli US is the firm’s American platform, mainly built for corporations, transactions, arbitration, technology, and the work of connecting the United States with Europe and the Arab region.
A deliberate choice of ground
America’s economic and commercial momentum is increasingly moving south, with Texas becoming more central to the country’s growth, business activity, and international trade. Houston places the firm within that movement while providing a global commercial base shaped by energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, technology, construction, and professional services. It is a deliberate location for the firm’s United States Practice, its International Practice, and the industries in which domestic and cross-border legal needs regularly meet.
- A southern engine of growth: Texas stands within a region gaining population, businesses, investment, and commercial influence, placing the firm close to an expanding share of American economic activity.
- Energy and infrastructure capital: Houston is a natural base for matters involving energy, infrastructure, major projects, industrial activity, and the capital and contracts supporting them.
- A trading and international city: Commerce in Houston is international by default, with goods, investment, contracts, technology, and risk moving between the United States and overseas markets.
- Industry depth: Houston brings together energy, manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, technology, construction, and professional services within one commercial market.
- Gulf-facing. Levant-linked.: Houston gives the firm a United States platform with direct commercial relevance to clients, investors, and counsel across the Gulf and the Levant.
- A working legal market: The office is positioned for active transactions, disputes, referrals, technology matters, and ongoing counsel, not merely a symbolic presence.
