About METHQAL

A law and legal consultations group founded on a simple idea: that every matter deserves to be weighed with precision and fairness.

Our Story

The meaning of a name.

In Arabic, mithqal is a unit of weight — the precise measure once used to weigh gold. It also speaks of fairness: the scale that neither adds nor takes away.

Methqal Law & Legal Consultations Group was founded to bring that standard to legal practice. The group embraces an elite of professional lawyers and consultants with many years of experience in every branch of law, supported by a qualified team dedicated to quality and professionalism.

Our logo makes the idea visible: a balance-scale crowning the Kufic wordmark, its central column formed by a chain of gold weights.
