Oryx Legal Consultants has been named Emerging Law Firm of the Year at The Oath Middle East Legal Awards 2025, marking the second year in a row the firm has received the distinction.
The recognition reflects another standout year for the firm, which recorded its strongest financial performance to date, expanded its team, and continued to grow a high-quality portfolio of major regional and international clients across leading financial institutions and top-tier corporate groups.
The win also underscores the firm’s unique operating model. Oryx offers a fixed-fee pricing arrangement, shifting financial risk away from the client. The firm also provides fractional senior-level legal leadership, a model rarely found elsewhere in the market and one that has contributed to its sustained growth.
“We are honoured to receive this award again. Winning for the second year running is a testament to the strength of our model, the calibre of our clients, and the dedication of our team,” said Vanessa Abernethy, Co-Founder of Oryx.
Oryx is the only 100% female-founded legal services provider in the UAE and prides itself on its unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, commercially aligned legal, corporate finance, and compliance services to its clients.
Natalie Boyd, Co-Founder of Oryx, added, “2025 has proved to be another exceptional year for Oryx, which is a testament to the focus, consistency, and commitment of its founders and consultants and the loyalty and belief of our valued clients in the Oryx model. We look forward to announcing exciting developments in 2026.”
