Spear’s Review

For Boodle Hatfield partner Reem Al-Jumaily, client satisfaction is paramount. ‘It’s about the handholding and personalised service. That’s crucial for us,’ she told Spear’s. 

Al-Jumaily, who joined the firm in 2016, specialises in UK residential property sales and acquisitions, including prime central London properties and development projects. 

Tasked with building Boodle Hatfield’s international client base, her fluency in Arabic has proven invaluable. ‘I was born and bred in the UK and then summoned to Arabic school by my parents,’ she said. ‘My fluency in Arabic has been brilliant for my career.’ 

While her clients are largely from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, she also deals with clients from countries such as France, India and Taiwan. Wherever they’re from, Al-Jumaily said, ‘What’s important with international clients is that you’re able to explain complex legal terms in simple day-to-day English.’
