Samara Iqbal, Founder, Director and Solicitor of Aramas International Lawyers, has built a distinctive legal practice focused on the increasingly complex needs of internationally connected families. Founded in 2018, Aramas International Lawyers is a boutique international family law firm advising expatriates and high-net-worth individuals on sensitive matters including divorce, children, financial matters, wills, guardianship and succession.
Samara’s professional journey reflects a strong combination of legal expertise, international perspective and cultural understanding. She completed her Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course at BPP Law School, alongside a Master’s degree in Islamic Education from the University of Winchester. Her academic and professional background has enabled her to approach cross-border family matters with an appreciation of the different legal systems, cultures and personal circumstances that can shape each case.
Today, Samara leads a growing international practice serving clients across the UK and the Middle East. She is qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales and is also able to practise before the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court. Her work focuses on providing clear, practical and carefully considered advice to families navigating complex legal circumstances across jurisdictions.
One of the firm’s notable developments has been the launch of its online Will service for UAE expatriates. The service provides clients with a secure and convenient way to create lawyer-reviewed DIFC and ADJD Wills entirely online, reflecting Samara’s commitment to making specialist legal services more accessible while maintaining professional standards.
Her expertise has received recognition from leading legal directories, including Chambers High Net Worth and Chambers UK and UAE. These achievements reflect the growing reputation of both Samara and Aramas International Lawyers within the field of international family and private wealth matters.
Beyond her legal practice, Samara is passionate about supporting women and female-founded businesses. She believes that strong technical expertise, preparation and consistency are essential to building confidence and credibility, particularly for women working in traditionally male-dominated professional environments.
Looking to the future, Samara aims to expand Aramas International Lawyers into a trusted global legal brand, strengthening its international network, expertise and reputation. She also hopes to contribute to the wider legal profession through speaking, training and thought leadership.
At the heart of her vision is a simple principle: when families, assets and lives. cross borders, they need legal advice that understands the whole picture. Through Aramas International Lawyers, Samara continues to bridge jurisdictions with clarity, empathy and discretion.
