Legal firm takes 'next step' with Dubai office move

A law firm has expanded with a Middle East office.

Richardson Lissack has opened a Dubai base.

Bosses say the venture will build on London and Manchester offices and serve “growing demand for advice across its core practice areas”.

They add it will “provide a natural next step” as the firm – known for working across areas including corporate and financial crime, civil fraud and digital assets disputes – “develops work with clients with interests in the United Arab Emirates”.

The office will be supported by managing partner Ben Richardson alongside partners Kim Nihill, Stephen Reynolds, Pete Chapman, Alex Rogan and Matthew Garbutt.

Ben said: “Our expansion reflects both the international ambitions of our clients and our commitment to protecting their interests wherever they do business.

“Dubai is a globally significant commercial centre, making it the natural choice for our next phase of growth.”
