Represent NMC Healthcare LTD (in administration), and its Joint Administrators. NMC is a UAE based hospital group that was the subject of substantial fraud which led to the group amassing approximately USD 7 billion in debt, the majority of which had never been reported in the groups financials. Following placing the parent company that was previously traded on the London Stock Exchange into administration in the UK, QE went on to obtain the first ever administration order in the UAE and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) in September 2020. Since then, we have gone on to represent the NMC Group in a number of proceedings in the ADGM Courts and an LCIA London seated arbitration. These proceedings have been supported by Quinn Emanuel obtaining recognition of the ADGM administration order in the DIFC and English Courts.
