“SOL is testament to the fact that we are all capable of achieving anything we put our minds to. Never limit yourself and always deliver with integrity, honesty, and transparency. We are the kind of lawyers that tell you how it is, not always what you want to hear. Four and a half years on, we are delighted to continue to grow and establish worldwide partnerships and recognition. The name SOL is now recognized internationally as a brand and we are proud of our achievements since we began, which include having been listed in international legal directories. The name SOL is special and will always serve as a reminder of why we all do what we do, our motivation and driving force and what truly matters: family. SOL stands for Sarah Omar Lina. Those of you who know me know that first and foremost I am blessed to be mother to Omar and Lina. All that I do, I do for them.”
