Dr. Ghazi Abdulrahman AlResheidat

Legal Consultant

Dr. Ghazi Abdulrahman AlResheidat is a Legal Consultant with one of the most extensive institutional track records in the firm. He holds a PhD in Private Law and served for over twenty-five years as the Director of the Legal Department at a major Jordanian public university (1987–2012), overseeing all legal affairs of the institution and providing authoritative guidance on administrative, employment, regulatory, and contractual matters.

His post-academic career spans a wide spectrum of practice before Jordanian courts, encompassing administrative law, civil and commercial litigation, and criminal defence. This breadth — unusual in a practitioner — gives Dr. Ghazi a distinctively holistic perspective when advising clients whose matters touch on multiple areas of law simultaneously. He brings measured judgement and a deep familiarity with the operation of Jordanian public institutions, which is invaluable for clients in sectors with significant regulatory exposure.
