Welcome to the Dubai Network

Welcome to the Dubai Network, established in September of 2023.  The Network’s first Co-Chairs, Cate Barbour of Walkers Global and Tina Asgarian of Ogier shared:

“We are very proud to have established IWIRC in Dubai which is the IWIRC’s first network in the Gulf and Middle East & North Africa. The founding members have experienced the benefits and support of IWIRC in other jurisdictions in which we have worked and know the value it brings to the professional lives of the women who work within it. We look forward to being a very active IWIRC network, with plans for regular meetings, including breakfasts with inspiring speakers, cocktail hour social and educational networking events and, in January 2024, an event in Riyadh to coincide with the Saudi Arabia INSOL seminar. We hope the Dubai Network will inspire and support the fantastic professional women in our field, not only within Dubai but also in the UAE and the wider GCC and MENA region.”
