Addleshaw Goddard has a growing investment fund team in the UAE, having in 2023 drawn attention for its lateral hire of Philip Dowsett from Dechert. This adds to the notable funds experience housed in its Oman office, while the firm's London partners are also regularly mandated on the formation of Shari'a-compliant funds by asset managers based in the Middle East. Addleshaw's fund formation capabilities are complemented by an array of expertise in ancillary areas such as dispute resolution.
