Presence,not pins.
We put our own people in the markets we advise on, because regulators, banks and counterparties deal with people they know. A mandate that starts in one region continues in the next without a hand-off.
The group's regional hub, in the Dubai International Financial Centre. From here we cover the UAE's financial free zones and onshore regime, and the wider Gulf.
Our European base, covering EU market entry and licensing, EU-wide compliance regimes, and Central and Eastern Europe.
One of our deepest markets: financial regulation, capital markets, digital assets and the corporate work that connects Turkish businesses with the Gulf and Europe.
Our team in Moscow supports cross-border structuring, regulatory work and the corporate matters of clients whose operations span Russia and the regions above.
