Lauded for its ‘dedication, expertise, and professionalism’, regional powerhouse Al Tamimi & Company is a popular choice for banking and financial services clients who rely on the firm’s extensive knowledge of the international legal market and a variety of local markets in the GCC. The firm’s deep bench of advisers are well equipped to tackle an array of shareholder disputes, insurance claims for both claimants and defendants, contentious real estate and construction projects, and criminal proceedings, including substantial international fraud cases. The group is noted for its ’real strength in depth when it comes to DIFC litigation’ and also has a proven track record in a number of international disputes centres, including the ICC, LICA, Uncitral and LMAA, with strong technical excellence in arbitration proceedings. Hassan Arab and Rita Jaballah, who are key names for banking and energy disputes, and David Holloway, who also sits as an arbitrator are key names. Senior counsel Jonathan Brooks is integral to the team’s asset recovery work and Khushboo Shahdadpuri ‘displays a deep understanding of the law and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for cases’.
