“It’s clear that there are many opportunities for us as a leading strategic advisory firm in the region, and I’m sure we’ll have a lot of success serving clients from our new base there.”

Christopher Napoli commented: “I am delighted to be opening Hakluyt’s newest office in Dubai. There are many outstanding businesses in the region, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them.”

Thomas Ellis, who leads Hakluyt’s business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), added: “We already serve several major clients in the Middle East, and growing our business in the region is a priority for us.
