The practitioner
Mr Tony Maalouli is Managing Director of ProConsult Advocates & Legal Consultants and has spent more than 30 years in the legal field. His practice reflects the issues that recur in Dubai client work: disputes, corporate structuring, banking and finance, real estate, construction, family holdings and cross-border investment.
He holds an LLM / DES in private law and a Postgraduate Diploma in International Construction Law and Arbitration from Robert Gordon University, UK. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, London, a practising arbitrator, a member of the International Bar Association and registered in the DIFC Courts Register of Legal Practitioners, with rights of audience before the Court.
Before leading ProConsult, Mr Maalouli headed the banking and real estate consultations department, and the corporate and commercial consultations department, at Baker & McKenzie Habib Al Mulla. He chairs and serves on the Board of Directors of the International Law Firms Association, lectures at the Dubai Real Estate Institute, and belongs to the British, Australian, Canadian, French, Lebanese and Russian Business Councils in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.

International
ProConsult is the exclusive Dubai and UAE member of the International Law Firms Association, a network with roughly 70 branches across about 50 countries, including Kuwait, KSA, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Australia and the USA. Until 2022, the firm was the leading Dubai member of MSI Global Alliance.
That reach is practical in matters where UAE advice must sit beside foreign structuring, asset ownership or enforcement issues. The firm’s record includes hotel and resort acquisitions in Libya, Sudan and Milan, real estate acquisitions for Kuwait and Germany-based closed-ended funds, and acquisitions in European jurisdictions.
Method
We identify the governing forum, documentary gaps, limitation risks and commercial pressure points before choosing correspondence, negotiation, filing or transaction steps.
Advice is tied to contracts, filings, authority requirements, correspondence and financial documents, not assumptions about what should have been agreed.
Matters are led with direct involvement from senior lawyers, particularly where court strategy, arbitration procedure or transaction structure requires judgement.
Where corporate services are required, ProConsult Corporate Services can handle formation and administrative steps alongside the legal work.
