- ‘The partner, Benjamin Smith, is very skillful in breaking nuanced points down in a manner that is understandable. He shows real experience in working in Dubai, navigating local regulatory framework, and generally how to get business done in Dubai. He explains things very well and gives solid practical advice, that goes beyond simply what the facts and law are. He is a good advisor.'
