Managing PartnerKUWAIT | UAE
Our unique skillset, combining broad perspective, cultural familiarity, linguistic capability and in-depth understanding of local laws, is what really sets us apart. Crucially, our lawyers have rights of audience before regional courts. As such, we’ve become the go-to firm for high-stakes disputes involving complicated fact patterns, as well as novel questions of law. And, beyond the GCC, our London team concentrates solely on heavyweight commercial disputes; their experience in the financial world is second-to-none; from sophisticated capital and credit funds to institutions and sovereign wealth. We aim to be the destination practice for corporate and M&A disputes, investor-state arbitration, finance litigation, shareholder disputes, investigations, crisis management, fraud and competition litigation, and international commercial arbitration.
At Meysan Partners we believe that everyone contributes to the success of our firm and we recognise excellence at every level and discipline. Above all, from day one we’re committed to providing the most flexible and supportive working life for all of our people. That includes personal and professional development that goes way beyond learning on the job.
If you want to make your mark in an environment brimming with the confidence that only comes from an exceptional track record today, combined with fast growth and serious ambition for tomorrow, then we should be talking.
