Habib, a corporate/commercial lawyer, was previously a senior lawyer at Al Tamimi & Company in Dubai; she also has founded and led two cross-border corporate law firms in Beirut and Dubai, spearheading strategic growth, innovation, and client engagement across jurisdictions. 

As a core part of her commercial practice, Habib assists clients across industries with drafting, negotiating, and enforcing a wide range of commercial contracts, including strategic commercial, market entry and operational, ecommerce and digital business, regulatory and sector-specific, risk management and dispute prevention agreements. Her corporate/commercial experience also includes drafting and negotiating licensing, distribution, franchising and commercial agency agreements. Her clients include multinational corporations, governmental organizations, high-net-worth individuals and family enterprises across diverse business sectors in the MENA region. 

“With two decades of experience as a trusted advisor to multinational corporations, governmental organizations, high net worth individuals, and family enterprises in diverse business sectors across the MENA region, Greta embodies the legal excellence and entrepreneurial spirit that is at the heart of Greenberg Traurig’s culture,” said Richard A.

At Greenberg Traurig, Habib will focus on complex cross-border structuring and restructuring transactions, involving formation of companies, trusts, foundations as well as private equity and funds in the UAE and broader MENA region. 

“I am delighted to join Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder, having been drawn to the firm for its global platform, entrepreneurial mindset, and client centric approach,” Habib said. “Most importantly, I was drawn to its people – collaborative professionals who lead by example with both expertise and integrity. I look forward to contributing to the expansion of the cross-border Corporate Practice in a culture that truly values excellence, innovation, and long-term client relationships.”
