Dewey & LeBoeuf has expanded its Middle East Corporate practice with the hire of partner Tahir Ahmed in its Dubai office.
Tahir was previously a partner in Ashurst’s Dubai office, where he led on a number of groundbreaking Middle Eastern mergers and acquisitions, private equity, fund formation and Islamic Finance transactions.
“We are delighted to welcome Tahir into the team. He has first-class experience of all forms of transactions, and as important, he understands how to get deals done in the Middle East, having worked in the region since 2004,” says Dubai Corporate Partner Gavin Watson.
“Tahir brings valuable strengths to the team, especially his substantial experience of shariah compliant deals. We’re very excited about exploring the opportunities generated by his arrival,” adds Dubai Corporate Partner Chris Sioufi.
“I am looking forward to working closely with my colleagues across Dewey & LeBoeuf’s Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Doha offices and building on the great achievements of the local and international Corporate teams,” says Tahir.
Dewey & LeBoeuf’s Dubai office serves as a regional hub for the firm’s work across MENA, providing full-service advice on capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, Islamic finance, project development and finance, energy transactional work and investment funds.
