Practice Areas

I am the Head of Country for the UAE, the Head of Intellectual Property for the Middle East, and the global co-head of Franchising. I've practised in the UAE since 2006 and I'm ranked in IP Stars, Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and Who's Who Legal for my commercial and intellectual property experience.

I advise our clients on intellectual property, commercial, corporate and general litigation matters relating to their operations in the UAE and the wider Middle East region. This covers matters such as IT, IP, trademark protection, franchising, and commercial licensing of intellectual property, media, healthcare, consumer protection and regulatory issues. I particularly specialise in franchising, distribution and supply agreements having acted for some of the world largest brands when licensing their intellectual property in the Middle East.
