“Our team is invested in the relationship, and are determined to get the best possible outcomes.”
“My passion is for white-collar crime and fraud matters of all kinds. I often advise in crisis situations, and bring calm, structure, depth of experience, and a positive mindset to resolving the issue that has arisen. My technological and in-house experience helps me find pragmatic, practical solutions to complicated issues.
I co-lead the Middle East practice, and most if not all of my work is international. I enjoy working on complex, multi-jurisdictional mandates. This year, I’ve advised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Africa and in the UAE. I have advised on matters in most major economies during my career.
Many lawyers can give good legal advice, but my clients understand that our team is invested in the relationship, care about their priorities, and are determined to to get the best possible outcomes for them.
Listening to clients is at the heart of any successful matter and I am always happy to speak to clients about their cases and organise regular catch-ups as well as regular events. Our team spends significant time getting to know every client at every level, so we understand what matters to them and how their business works.”
