‘Fatima Alhasan is highly attentive to detail. She has a solid grasp of the law, which she combines with a sound commercial understanding of the industries which she serves. She is able to communicate complex legal issues with great accuracy, articulation and clarity. As a Bahraini woman, she is also renowned as an inspirational lawyer in private practice.’
