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.
