Notable practitioners
Saqib Alam is a partner at Morrison Foerster advising global companies on business-critical regulatory and compliance issues. He is a Singapore advocate and New York attorney, as well as an England & Wales solicitor.
Saqib is innovative in his thinking; his understanding of the sector is really good in terms of crises and risks. He is very much crisis first, not just law. He is perceptive.
He is very good - fantastic to work with, proactive and good with clients. He had a good understanding of how legal investigations may play out in both the press and the political arena.
Saqib Alam is commercially aware, technically strong and delivers on time - everything you need in an external counsel. He is also approachable and friendly, always a pleasure to work with.
