A New Approach to Legal Services

We are here to help clients navigate their legal and regulatory requirements in an innovative, efficient, experienced and cost-effective way.

SPR Advisors was established by Kelly Tymburski, a senior TMT legal and regulatory specialist lawyer who has dedicated a significant portion of her career to advising clients on frontier and emerging markets considerations typical of the jurisdictions comprising the Middle East and wider region. Kelly gained the majority of her experience working in global private practice law firms, including years spent as both partner and TMT department head. She is dual qualified in Ontario, Canada (Barrister & Solicitor) and England & Wales (Solicitor), with more than 15 years of experience advising on TMT regulatory and commercial legal matters in the Middle East.

One of the ever-present and increasingly prevalent client demands we have encountered is for experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and commercially-minded legal counsel at cost-effective rates. This is precisely what SPR Advisors was established to provide.

Trusted Client Advisors & Business Partners

Our consultants advise clients of all shapes and sizes, from all over the world.

On the private sector side, our consultants have worked with clients ranging from large multi-national corporations to SMEs and start-ups. We have also advised government and regulatory authorities – in particular, on the development of new laws and regulations in the TMT space.

We are frontier market specialists, with a focus on advising clients in connection with the legal and regulatory considerations of their operations and commercial transactions in the Middle East and wider region.

We also pride ourselves on our extensive and regularly expanding network of like-minded professionals that we work and collaborate with – all of whom are dedicated to following the same model of experience, expertise and cost-effectiveness in legal and regulatory services.

Our Legal Service Areas

The scope of work that our consultants assist clients with is as diverse as our client base. Just some of the areas that we regularly advise on are:

Drafting and negotiating various commercial agreements across the entire TMT spectrum (for example, MSAs, licensing, procurement, distribution, subcontracting, resale, support/maintenance, confidentiality, etc.).

Conducting regulatory analysis of existing and new legal frameworks in relation to client operational and compliance requirements (for example, advising on compliance considerations under the many new data protection laws in the Middle East region).

Advising on the legal and regulatory considerations underpinning potential new market entry (for example, direct licensing opportunities versus strategic partnerships with existing locally licensed service providers).

Undertaking multi-jurisdictional legal and regulatory analysis and benchmarking.

Preparing bespoke standard suites of contractual documents to help streamline client operations and efficiency (especially helpful for start-up ventures or clients newly entering the Middle East markets).

‘Localising’ existing client agreements, policies and procedures for compliance with the relevant nuances of local law requirements.

Where We Work

Although we are headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we provide advice to clients located in or seeking to do business in countries across the Middle East and wider region. We have advised clients on regulatory and commercial legal queries in relation to their operations or proposed activities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Oman, Bahrain – as well as in various countries across Africa.

If a client needs assistance in a market we currently do not cover or a practice area we do not currently advise on, we are able to leverage our extensive network of like-minded professionals to find the best-placed resource to assist on a cost-effective basis.
