A fluent Arabic speaker, Aymen acts for corporate and private clients from and/or on cases with a connection to the Middle East, including acting for a company in relation to trade financing arrangements where allegations of fraud led to a claim of US$500 million by a leading UAE bank.
Aymen has also litigated a number of major disputes for clients from Russia and the CIS as well as the Far East, most recently in respect of a shareholders dispute claim and a conspiracy to defraud claim involving significant damages claims (over $200 million) and injunctive relief for clients from Russia and Ukraine.
