The firm will offer legal, corporate services, and regulatory consulting from its new location in the Dubai International Finance Centre.

Managing Partner Edward Mackereth described it as a “significant milestone”, adding: “Central to our global offering is accessibility for clients and intermediaries to our specialist teams in their time zone.

“We are now providing a full-service office in Dubai with our law firm, our corporate services provider Ogier Global, and our regulatory consulting team all present in our new premises at Emirates Financial Towers.”

Dispute Resolution Partner David Welford has relocated to lead the new office, joined by three new appointees.

“We’ve also added talent to our team from the Dubai market with Daniel Pacic, who has joined us as Managing Director of Ogier Global, our corporate services provider,” Mr McKereth added.

“Also new to our team are Praveer Pinto, who has joined us as Director in our Regulatory Consulting division, and Tina Asgarian has joined us as Counsel in our Dispute Resolution team.”
