About Us

HUSSEINI & HUSSEINI was established in 1919 by Dauod Y. Husseini. Mr. Husseini was a leading lawyer during a critical historical period and rose quickly to prominence in his practice. Known for his critical thinking, Mr. Husseini became a judge early in his career and held various posts at Palestinian courts in Jerusalem. In 1924 Fakhri Husseini joined the law firm as a leading and prominent member of the Jerusalem community who spoke fluently six languages, Arabic, English, French, German, Italian and Turkish. Fakhri Husseini was appointed head of the Lawyers Association in Jerusalem during the Ottoman and British mandate periods, but was removed due to his support of the revolution. He died at an early age in 1942. In 1925, Dauod’s son Suleiman D. Husseini joined the firm. Although Mr. Dauod Husseini’s career ended with an early passing at the age of 45, his son Suleiman continued in the practice, following his footsteps, until 1967, when the turmoil of that period brought the entire practice to a halt. Both held judicial posts in Palestine, Turkey, and Syria and produced various publications.

 

Thirty‑years later, Ms. Hiba Husseini returned from the United States to reestablish the firm. Since 1994, Husseini & Husseini has come to specialize in general corporate, financial and commercial practice, and has represented foreign businesses and investors in Palestine. The combined resources of the firm’s partners allow Husseini & Husseini to engage in international commercial practice. The collective skills and broad experience of the firm enable it to effectively meet the legal needs of its clients. We work with our clients to achieve prompt and practical results.

 

The firm provides legal services to businesses, investors, corporate entities, institutions, public enterprises both locally and internationally, as well as, for the Palestine National Authority.
