DLA Piper has hired Adam Vause as a partner in its Middle East litigation, arbitration and investigations practice. Vause, who joins from Norton Rose Fulbright, will be based in Dubai.
With a focus on corporate crime, investigations and general banking litigation, Vause has spent more than five years in the Middle East region, prior to which he was based in London. His experience includes a two-year secondment at the UK’s Serious Fraud Office, where he worked as an investigative lawyer and prosecutor, primarily focusing on white-collar crime and the UK's reform of anti-fraud and corruption legislation.
Vause, who has specific expertise on matters relating to fraud, asset tracing and regulatory and anti-bribery investigations, advises financial institutions and major corporates on commercial disputes.
“Adam's appointment further strengthens the firm's Middle East offering in terms of capabilities and expertise and we are delighted to welcome him on board and his regulatory knowledge in particular bolsters our existing offering to clients," said Henry Quinlan, head of the Middle East litigation and arbitration practice at DLA Piper, in a statement.
