13. Law and Business in Bahrain w/ Prof. Maria Casoria

In this episode of Women & Law, we host a conversation with Professor Maria Casoria, an academic and an Italian-qualified attorney, mediator, and international legal consultant currently based in Bahrain, whose career spans Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. The conversation explores the legal and business landscape of Bahrain, a jurisdiction where civil law traditions, common law influences, and Islamic law intersect. Professor Casoria shares insights into how the country has positioned itself as a business-friendly hub in the Gulf and how its legal framework supports international investors and cross-border transactions. In the episode, it has been also discussed how young lawyers navigate different legal traditions in global practice and the opportunities emerging in the Gulf region for international legal professionals. Finally, the episode reflects on the evolving role of women in the legal profession, and why developing cross-cultural intelligence, technological literacy, and strong legal expertise is essential for the next generation of lawyers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/women-law--6724381/support.
