The Law Firm of Chibli Mallat was founded half a century ago by Wajdi Mallat, a former minister and president of the Beirut bar. The firm has an established history in several areas of litigation. Upon its founder's election in 1993 to the presidency of the newly formed Lebanese Constitutional Council, his son Chibli, then full-time academic in the law department of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and Director of its Centre of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law, took over as principal. Professor Chibli Mallat is Jean Monnet Chair of European Law and Director of the Centre for the Study of the European Union at the University of Saint Joseph, Beirut.

While litigation, negotiation and corporate work remain a strength of the firm, a new emphasis has developed in the realm of international law consultancy and litigation.
