How highly would an Oxford Law degree be seen with regards to employment prospects in the Middle East?


I will soon complete a law degree at Oxford and then have plans to seek employment in the Middle East. I already have much family in the region as i am half Lebanese...many of whom work in Qatar and dubai and other small emirates. What employment prospects would i get in such gulf countries with my degree and would it be regarded very hgihly? I have heard that degrees speak volumes in the middle east, and was wondering if anybody had any insights to add. Are the salaries much greater for jobs such as lawyer or investment bankers? I do understand that much of the finaical benefit is felt due to the absence of income tax but what are the differentials in salary? I am just curious about whether to remain in England and search for a job or move out.. I also love the culture and feel it would be a great experience. If it helps, my potential career will almost certainly be either lawyer or investment banker. Thoughts/experiences would be appreciated. Many thanks, Steve

Here is an article you may find interesting...
Under a formal decree of the United Arab Emirates, and local laws signed by the late Ruler of Dubai, the two authorities that hold absolute power carved out an area from which they withdrew their own system of laws. The concept is breathtaking: here in DIFC, English common law reigns supreme - and under a British chief justice. Although there are some similarities to the Vatican, Hong Kong and even Gaza, it is thought to be the first time that any state has done this.
