Last updated 15 September 2026
The terms on which this website is provided, and the basis on which its contents should be read.
This website is operated by:
The Doha Circle
Lusail Twin Towers, 11th and 12th floor
Qatar Financial Centre
Doha, State of Qatar
QFC registration in progress
office@thedohacircle.com
1. Purpose of this website
This website provides general information about The Doha Circle — its purpose, leadership, approach, relationships and areas of interest. It is intended for family offices, investment houses, institutional partners, professional advisers, governmental and sovereign institutions, business principals and comparable professional audiences.
Use of this website creates no member, client, advisory, fiduciary, agency, partnership or other professional relationship with The Doha Circle or with any member of the Circle.
2. Regulatory status
The Doha Circle is established at the Qatar Financial Centre. Its registration is in progress, and its registration number will be published here on completion.
The Circle is not authorised by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority to carry on regulated financial services activities, and nothing on this website is an invitation to engage the Circle in such activities. Where a matter requires a regulated or professionally authorised service, that service is performed by an appropriately authorised institution or adviser.
Establishment at the Qatar Financial Centre is not an endorsement by the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority or the State of Qatar of the Circle, its activities, or any statement made on this website.
3. No offer or solicitation
Nothing on this website constitutes, or should be construed as, an offer, solicitation, invitation or recommendation to acquire, dispose of, subscribe for, underwrite or otherwise enter into any investment, security, financial product or transaction.
No investment or other transaction may be entered into through this website.
Any opportunity separately considered by a member of the Circle is considered on its own facts, through the appropriate private process and documentation, and remains subject to the independent decision, diligence and professional advice of that member.
4. No advice
Nothing on this website constitutes investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting or other regulated or professional advice.
The content has not been prepared having regard to the objectives, financial position, experience, risk tolerance or circumstances of any particular person. No person should make an investment, financial or other material decision in reliance on it. Independent professional advice should be obtained where appropriate.
5. The role of the Circle
The Doha Circle is a private body convened for its members.
The Circle does not operate a pooled investment fund or a blind pool, and membership is not a commitment to invest. Each member retains full discretion over its own capital and decides for itself whether, when and on what terms to pursue an opportunity.
The Circle may convene, coordinate or facilitate relationships among relevant parties. In doing so it does not replace, and does not hold itself out as replacing, the regulated institutions and professional advisers required for a particular matter.
6. No representation as to access, suitability or outcome
Descriptions of markets, sectors, investment environments, governmental priorities, trends, opportunities and relationships are provided as general institutional context. They do not constitute:
- a representation that any opportunity will be available;
- a representation that any investment can or will be completed;
- an assurance of access to any governmental, sovereign, institutional or commercial party;
- a guarantee of investment performance or return;
- a representation as to the future value of any asset; or
- a statement that an opportunity is suitable for any particular person.
All investment and commercial activity involves risk, including the possible loss of capital.
7. Forward-looking statements
This website refers to economic developments, investment programmes, governmental objectives, prospective markets and anticipated opportunities. Statements of that kind necessarily rest on assumptions and on circumstances that may change.
The Circle is under no obligation to update a forward-looking statement merely because events turn out differently, except where the law requires it.
8. Figures, statistics and third-party material
Economic figures, programme values, market sizes and comparable statistics appearing on this website are drawn from governmental, institutional, multilateral and other third-party sources current at the time of publication. Such figures are indicative, are subject to revision by their originators, and are reproduced for context rather than as a representation by the Circle as to their accuracy.
Where a figure is material to a decision, it should be verified against its original source.
9. Biographies and credentials
Descriptions of the background, experience, mandates and appointments of the Circle’s leadership and associates are summaries provided for general information. They are not a representation that any particular engagement will be repeated, that any relationship remains current, or that any individual acts for the Circle beyond the role described.
10. References to third parties
References to governments, ministries, institutions, companies, family offices, international organisations and other third parties do not by themselves imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or representation by those persons.
Nothing on this website should be read as suggesting that The Doha Circle speaks for the State of Qatar, the Qatar Financial Centre, any government, sovereign institution, family office, company or third party, unless expressly stated. The Circle speaks for itself and, where expressly authorised in a particular matter, acts within the scope of that authority.
11. Membership
Membership of The Doha Circle is private and by invitation.
Nothing on this website is an invitation to membership. References to membership criteria, founding membership or the Circle’s composition are descriptive only, and create no entitlement, expectation or right of admission. An invitation may be extended only through the process determined by the Circle’s Chairman.
12. Confidentiality
The Circle treats private institutional and professional communications with appropriate discretion.
However, sending an unsolicited communication to an email address published on this website does not by itself create a fiduciary duty, a professional engagement, or an obligation of confidentiality beyond what the law imposes. A party wishing to transmit sensitive, proprietary or transaction-specific material should first establish an appropriate confidential channel or written arrangement.
13. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, the design, text, graphics, marks, photographs, visual identity, structure and other original content of this website are owned by or licensed to The Doha Circle, and are protected by applicable intellectual property law.
The name The Doha Circle, its device mark and its associated visual identity may not be used in any manner suggesting affiliation, endorsement or authorisation without prior written permission.
Content may be viewed and retained for personal or internal professional reference. No substantial part of this website may be reproduced, republished, modified, distributed, commercially exploited, or incorporated into another publication, database or website without prior written permission, except to the extent the law permits.
Photographic and typographic material appearing on this website is used under licence from its respective rights holders.
14. External links
Links to external websites are provided for convenience or reference. The Circle does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or accuracy. A link does not imply endorsement.
15. Availability and security of the website
The Circle may modify, suspend or withdraw any part of this website without notice.
While reasonable measures are taken to maintain its security and integrity, no warranty is given that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free or free from harmful components. Visitors are responsible for the security of their own devices and systems.
16. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the applicable law permits, The Doha Circle and its officers, representatives and affiliates shall not be liable for loss arising from:
- reliance on general information published on this website;
- the temporary unavailability of the website;
- third-party websites or materials linked from it; or
- use of the website outside its intended purpose.
Nothing in this Legal Notice excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
17. Privacy
Personal data is handled in accordance with the Circle’s Privacy Notice, which forms part of the legal information applicable to this website.
18. Governing law and jurisdiction
This website and this Legal Notice are governed by the laws and regulations applicable in the Qatar Financial Centre, without prejudice to mandatory rights or laws that apply irrespective of a choice of law.
To the extent the applicable law permits, any dispute concerning this website or this Legal Notice shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Civil and Commercial Court of the Qatar Financial Centre, part of the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre.
Nothing in this clause prevents a person from exercising a mandatory right before another competent authority or court where the applicable law so requires.
