About

Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC), the owner and operator of the largest exhibition venue in the Middle East, employs a small but highly efficient legal team to oversee its exponential growth. By way of example, the value of ADNEC’s direct and indirect contribution to the economy of Abu Dhabi increased by over 26% in 2017 to reach AED3.89bn, which has been keeping the department, led by general counsel Simon Price, very busy. Over the last couple of years, the team has particularly impressed with its successful settlement of a great number of large disputes for ADNEC in addition to facilitating an expansion of the company’s catering arm – Capital Hospitality. The latter has been achieved largely thanks to the team establishing a legal presence for the business in other parts of the UAE and on advising on key contracts with Abu Dhabi Formula 1, the FIFA Club World Cup, Costa Coffee and Starbucks. To facilitate the growth of ADNEC’s events business the legal team has supported the establishment of the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show which will be launched in October 2018 and on a strategic partnership with British Marine, the organisers of the London Boat Show. In addition to Simon Price, a professional with a proven track record in directing corporate legal affairs, who has been at the company for a decade, the team’s most recent addition Adel Al Marzooqi has already made strong impression on colleagues within the company. ‘He has excellence knowledge of UAE law and dispute resolution and is widely respected by the business,’ Price says. ‘He is solution oriented and will work around the clock to get things over the line. He is absolutely a rising star and has great things ahead of him. I am very proud to have him in my team’.
