The Emirati legal drama, shot and produced in Abu Dhabi by Image Nation and Beelink Productions, was created by Oscar nominee Walter Parkes (He Named Me Malala) and Emmy award-winning producer William Finkelstein, who worked on the original NBC series on which this is based, LA Law.

Directed by Ahmed Khaled, it is based on real cases from the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, which partnered on the production to ensure authenticity, and is being streamed with subtitles in 20 different languages.
