Middle East heavyweight Clyde & Co firmed up its Dubai banking and finance practice by adding Adrian Low from DLA Piper’s Kuwaiti joint venture.
Low, who started his career with UK firm Hammond Suddards, before spending a decade with DLA Piper in London and Kuwait City, mainly focuses on finance in connection with mergers and acquisitions, acting for lenders and borrowers, as well as general finance facilities. During his stint with the DLA Piper-NEN joint venture in Kuwait, Low advised Al-Khorayef on its 48-million-Kuwaiti-dinar ($173 million) syndicated Islamic and conventional facility.
“Adrian's experience and expertise will add further strength to our existing team and I am confident that our clients will see huge benefit from our enhanced finance capability on major transactions across our core sectors of focus," Jonathan Silver, head of Clyde & Co's regional practice, said in a statement.
With offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, and an associated office in Riyadh, Clyde & Co is a well-established firm in the MENA region. Its regional corporate team was recently in the news for advising on the Middle East aspects of the sale of Motorola's worldwide networks assets to Nokia Siemens Networks for $975 million. ALB
