Work Department

I am a banking and finance specialist advising on both conventional and Islamic finance matters.

Position

Partner / Head of Banking & Finance (Middle East) / Global Head of Islamic Finance

Career

I advise lenders, financial institutions, funds, sponsors, borrowers, and issuers in corporate and structured finance transactions, including secured and unsecured, syndicated and bilateral loans, asset finance, Islamic finance, supply chain finance, trade finance and debt capital market transactions.

I have significant experience having worked in six different jurisdictions. I have built my practice by concentrating on making connections and acting as a strategic partner, and not just a counsel, for clients. I take a highly practical and pragmatic approach to providing legal services and bring an understanding of cultural conventions and sensitivities when working on a transaction.
