Testimonials

  • ‘The team at DWF have truly been excellent coverage and monitoring counsel. They have always provided high level, practical coverage advice and have been readily available to assist with resolving complex, multi-jurisdictional claims. They have provided insightful advice and have been a pleasure to work with, particularly within the UAE.’

  • ‘Adam Pryor, Brian Boahene, and Rebecca Neville are exceptional counsel. They are always well prepared, organized and receptive to our business needs. I would distinguish Adam, Brian, and Rebecca from other counsel I have dealt with in the UAE in that they are a powerhouse of resources and knowledge within the UAE and the UK, often providing concise advice on complex issues. Each of these highly capable lawyers have been able to pre-empt issues and provide advice specifically tailored to our business needs. They are always cognizant of the commercial aspect of resolving claims efficiently and for this reason, DWF will remain our 'go-to' for coverage advice. Each of them is responsive, despite the challenge presented by being in a completely different time zone. I consider both Adam, Brian, and Rebecca to be highly ethical, measured and very knowledgeable lawyers and would recommend their services without hesitation.’
