HFI appoints Gordon Inkson to join Dubai team

Gordon has a wealth of experience in commercial contracts, acquisitions and disposals by businesses in the oil and gas industry and is a key appointment to HFI's Dubai-based legal team.

Joining from respected Aberdeen practice, Iain Smith & Company, Gordon has an extensive track record of working on multi-million pound purchase deals and preparing due diligence reports for domestic and international clients.

A graduate of Aberdeen University, Gordon qualified as a Solicitor in Scotland in 1998 and was for a number of years a part-time tutor at the university, teaching legal practice, company and commercial law.

Gordon will focus on strengthening HFI's links between North Sea energy firms and Dubai and assisting their expansion plans in the Middle East region.

Gordon said of his appointment: "I am looking to broaden my experience in the oil and gas sector by moving to an area regarded as the international hub of the industry and to use my knowledge and experience in assisting new and existing businesses to establish and develop in the region.

"At Hugh Fraser International I am looking forward to working with some very dynamic and growing businesses in the city of Dubai, and to the range and quality of work in one of the most exciting cities in the world."

HFI managing partner, Hugh Fraser, added: "Gordon has a great deal of experience in corporate oil and gas sector work in the North Sea which will be a tremendous asset to our international practice.

"His contacts in the industry and understanding of their needs will contribute to our overall growth strategy and reinforce our already strong links between Aberdeen and Dubai."
