The Finance and Banking Practice group of Clifford Chance Dubai is recognised as one of the leading practices in the Region, led by partners Robin Abraham and Malcolm Turner.
The Firm has been at the forefront of ground breaking and high value Islamic finance transactions within the Gulf, in the last two years alone advising on the US$2.35 billion Islamic financing for Etihad-Etislat (and its recent refinancing), the USD 3.5 billion sukuk for Dubai Ports and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), the US$600 million Islamic tranche of the US$5.8 billion debt financing for Rabigh Refinery and Petrochemical Company amongst many others.
Qudeer advised on the PCFC and Rabigh deals whilst based in the London office, and worked closely with his colleagues in Dubai on both transactions.
Dubai managing partner Graham Lovett commented:
"As Islamic Finance products become ever more popular and complex, clients expect to have access to advice on the ground, both in terms of the suitability and structuring of products, and the way in which they can be made Islamically compliant. We can meet those needs and will be continuing to expand by recruiting the highest quality lawyers to meet demand. Qudeer's move to the region to complement our Finance team is a demonstration of our strategy to have a top quality capability in all areas of our finance practice."
