GLA & Co’s Mohammed Norri Named IFLR Iraq Lawyer of the Year 2026
A Major Milestone for GLA & Co Following the Launch of Its Iraq Office
GLA & Co is delighted to announce that Mohammed Norri, Head of the Firm’s Iraq Office, has been named Iraq Lawyer of the Year at the prestigious IFLR Middle East Awards 2026, held last week.
This recognition represents an exceptional achievement for Mohammed, coming during his first year with GLA & Co and just months after the Firm officially launched its Iraq operations in the summer of 2026.
The award recognizes Mohammed’s outstanding contributions to the Iraqi legal market, his professional excellence, and his commitment to delivering sophisticated legal advice to international and regional clients operating in Iraq.
The opening of GLA & Co’s Iraq office marked another important milestone in the Firm’s continued regional expansion. With a presence spanning eight jurisdictions across the Middle East and North Africa, GLA & Co continues to strengthen its position as a leading independent regional law firm, providing clients with seamless, commercially focused legal services across borders.
Commenting on the recognition, Alex Saleh, Managing Partner of GLA & Co, stated:
“We are immensely proud of Mohammed and this well-deserved recognition. When we launched our Iraq office this summer, we did so with the conviction that Iraq represents an increasingly important market for our regional and international clients. Mohammed’s leadership, experience and reputation were central to that decision. Receiving this prestigious award so soon after joining GLA & Co is a remarkable achievement and reinforces our confidence in the future of our Iraq practice.”
GLA & Co congratulates Mohammed on this outstanding accomplishment and looks forward to building upon the momentum of its successful expansion into Iraq.
GLA & Co — Regional Reach. Local Expertise.
