About

Leading transactions across the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa, Benjamin Coquerelle stands out for for his leadership and exceptional work ethic. ‘He has performed a lion’s share of the work on a number of transactions and has always done so with smiles and kindness’, one private practice source says. ‘He is exceptionally hard working and is capable of inspiring the team of lawyers, both inside and outside of his organisation’. Coquerelle closed a $1.5bn independent power project following two years of planning and negotiation. Internally, he has made a substantial contribution to improving processes, including overhauling complex standard documentation. Handling a high volume of major transactions in a smaller team, he concedes, can be challenging, and makes efficiency key.
