Global law firm Hogan Lovells’ Dubai office has gained a dispute resolution partner, with the relocation of Richard Kiddell from the firm’s London office.

Kiddell has extensive experience of handling complex, high-value international commercial disputes through litigation and arbitration. In the wake of the financial crisis, the Middle East has seen a spike in disputes, prompting an increasing number of law firms to bolster their dispute resolution practices.

"Richard's skills ideally match the requirements of our Middle East practice and the work that we are seeing from clients across the region. We are delighted to welcome him to the team," said Nick Parden, co-managing partner of Hogan Lovells’ Dubai office.
