- ‘We worked with Asad Abedi and Dana Halwani who both provided excellent service within the tight transaction timescale.’
- ‘We required advice to support our client's acquisition of a group which included a Saudi Arabian subsidiary company. It was critical to the acquisition to identify any regulatory filings and we therefore needed Derayah's support to analyse the relevant legislation and to support our client in making an application to have the transaction cleared in Saudi Arabia. It was very important to meet a strict transaction timetable and Derayah's responsive and detailed legal analysis ensured we were able to successfully complete the transaction on time.’
- ‘They are an excellent team.'
