  • ‘The team is drawn from leading white-collar crime and dispute resolution backgrounds alongside tenacious local lawyers. The combination is unique in the UAE in my experience - the client receives the white glove service they would expect from a magic circle firm, and has the confidence that the local lawyers who are engaged in the daily discussions and interactions with local lawyers/judiciary and police are themselves fully acquainted with the case and are themselves personally representing the client. This leads to more trust and confidence in the client.’
  • ‘Benjamin Jones gives clearcut leadership and advice. He knows clients need to have real answers.'
