I have a doctorate in laws from a European university and m interested in moving to Doha. What would be the chances of finding employment?

I don't speak Arabic but I could take lessons.

Also try Qatar Petroleum. They have some openings in their Legal Department. Be very patient, however. Their recruitment process takes quite some time.

I am monitoring those sites as well but many posts are for senior positions for which I don't have the experience required - I will continue to check them out though. Thanks :-)

Have you tried checking out, www.gulftalent.com and www.bayt.com? They might have open positions for the legal departments of companies here in Qatar and in other parts of the Gulf. Good luck!

I wouldn't worry about being fluent in Arabic, yet. Mostly everyone here speaks English. I do not know the law to well here, so I can't give you a solid answer with regards to jobs. It is however, a very civilized country, so I'm sure they have an organized judicial system that you may be able to get into. Goodluck!
