“Though this powerhouse of a firm doesn’t – at the time of writing – have a presence on the ground, its high-caliber partners still manage to pull off an impressive number of Middle East-focused deals.”

“This firm offers a wealth of expertise to clients targeting the Middle East, which is provided through offices in Europe, Asia and the USA. It carries out work in both inbound and outbound investments across a variety of industries and is especially noted for its capabilities in property matters, and in the retail and hotel sectors.”
Chambers Global (2010)

Chambers Global (2009)
