Experience
Described by sector, not by client.
Nothing on this page identifies a client, a counterparty or a matter. What follows are the sectors and the kinds of work the firm has actually done, at the level of detail that can be published without asking anyone's permission.

International work
Jurisdictions the work has touched
Matters have involved counterparties, assets or counsel in the following jurisdictions. This describes where the work reached, not a right to practise in each.

- Greece, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, on contract and joint venture matters.

Experience
On confidentiality
Some firms publish deal lists. This one does not, because a client who can be identified from a website has not been kept confidential, only anonymised. If you need to assess the firm against a specific kind of matter, ask directly and the question will be answered as far as professional obligations allow.

Dates matter more than detail at the first contact. If a decision or a deadline has already been served on you, bring that date first.
