What we do
The varied and challenging nature of our work means our lawyers have the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of legal specialties, including project development and finance, corporate, bank finance, disputes, construction and capital markets.
Lawyers at every level are given considerable responsibility and find themselves part of an open collegial culture in which partners are generous with their knowledge and juniors are encouraged to be forthright with their questions.
In terms of other firms in the region, the projects work we do is entirely unmatched. The client list that we have and the depth and the goodwill that we have with the governments here leads to some of the best work.
