Thanks to his international standards and local legal capabilities, Mohammed has been able to achieve excellent results for his clients. He is known for being focused and efficient while paying attention to the needs of his clients. Whether it`s complex transnational litigation or high-stakes regional litigation, our lawyers handle each client`s case and focus on strategies that achieve the optimal outcome. Through our extensive network of international and regional partners, we ensure that all aspects of the issue, including the prospects for successful enforcement, are duly taken into account. Our commercial litigation lawyers regularly represent clients in asset determination and recovery mandates, legal assistance and other national or international impediments to enforcement. ADG works hard to nurture and develop Emirati talent. He also takes a collaborative approach, working hard to discover, develop and cement relationships with other high-profile lawyers and professionals around the world. The firm then combines deep local knowledge with international expertise, providing responsive and personalized legal services and strategic advice to its own clients and foreign law firms. Same to you. I also work at an American law firm and I am increasingly jealous of our American colleagues who are “real lawyers” and who actually do substantive legal work rather than doing “project management and secretarial work for consultants” – which is mainly what Junior Litigation Associates does in London. A former Gibson Dunn partner who was removed for deliberately misleading a Supreme Court justice has lost his appeal to return to the legal profession.
Having worked for the Emirati firm Hadef & Partners before setting up his own firm, MAD Advocates, and then co-founding ADG, Mohammed wants to combine local experience in the UAE with international standards for client service. Mohammed has also worked with various legal teams in the UAE, specializing in the corporate sector of legal work and as a legal advisor in a boutique management consulting firm in Dubai. He has worked with the legal team of Mubadala Development Company PJSC, with a particular focus on corporate governance, aerospace and renewable energy. He has also trained with other legal teams, including the legal team at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). As a result: (a) there is virtually no business case for giving employees substantive legal work rather than having them assigned to a lawyer; and (b) in a virtuous circle, lawyers acquire more and more experience and skills, while in a vicious circle, the competence and confidence of junior partners in substantive legal work diminishes from the moment they graduate from law school. But we receive an obscene amount of money, which seems to numb most people`s frustration. Gray told RollOnFriday: “I do not intend to mislead the court or any other party, and I have never been intentionally dishonest in my professional life or my well-established legal career. Although the Djibouti case forced me to make some difficult decisions, I believed I was doing the right thing by always consulting senior counsel on what I wanted to do or say. Although the court presented significant evidence following the 2015 decision, it unfortunately considered that this was not sufficient to overturn the adverse findings. For example, a client contacted me and asked me about 10 different types of commercial and corporate contracts that he thought they needed for their new venture. After listening carefully, my first reaction was to do everything step by step and focus only on the contracts they really needed. We reduced the contracts to just three, which were then drafted in different stages.
This minimized their legal fees and, in turn, helped them run a successful and profitable start-up business in the first year. They were grateful because some lawyers would have added contracts to the list to charge higher fees. A graduate of Cambridge University, Peter trained at the bar before starting his career at LeBoeuf Lamb (later Dewey & LeBoeuf) in the City of London. After moving to Dubai in 2010, he founded Kingsgrove Partners in 2015. With the aim of combining deep regional knowledge with an international mindset and providing clients with exceptional legal services in the UAE, he founded ADG with Mohammed Al Dahbashi. Working with ADG also means having access to its extensive global network of law firms and corporations. The firm has partners who are members of the International Bar Association as well as various international network groups. Whether you need lawyers in foreign jurisdictions or help accessing other service providers, the firm`s business approach means your business will get more than just legal advice.
ADG`s goal is to develop and network outstanding local and international legal talent for the benefit of the region and beyond. Local and international clients, as well as foreign law firms, regularly praise ADG for its responsive, clear and commercial advice. “I am fortunate to have been able to rebuild a successful practice outside the UK since 2015, although I have had to defend these allegations for around seven years. I will now focus on advising my clients outside of the practice of law in England and Wales. I am very grateful for the support I have received not only from my family and friends, but also from a significant number of lawyers. We employ a team of high-level and dynamic lawyers with international and local backgrounds. They offer expert advice and comprehensive legal and professional services. Our customers have high demands without compromise, and so do we.
Combined with a responsive and friendly attitude, we work hard to achieve first-class results. A full-service international law firm based in Dubai with a leading team of lawyers and lawyers in Dubai, Alexandria, London and around the world, making us the ideal partner for clients in the UAE and abroad. There was a discussion about this 6 months ago, here: www.rollonfriday.com/discussion/why-are-people-still-doing-litigation. Personally, I decided to flee the UK and took a job somewhere with a merged profession where I can emulate my American colleagues who can do the full range of work, including advice, bid writing and oral advocacy – that is, the material legal work that many of us originally became lawyers for. From the beginning of a dispute to its resolution, we apply tailor-made and creative dispute resolution strategies that often lead to satisfactory results. Once selected, we work with our clients to immediately identify the strengths and weaknesses of the file. Our commercial litigation team takes an integrated approach to risk assessment from the outset, with or without other professional advisors (as needed), allowing our clients to avoid costly litigation. Our integrated practice structures allow our commercial litigation team to work with our non-litigation lawyers to provide strong support to our clients, no matter where they are. Several partners in my law firm are under investigation for dishonesty, which seems worse.
It will be huge. Clients typically turn to law firms to stabilize their business, so it doesn`t really make sense to go to an unstable firm. We are committed to developing ADG`s legal team both locally and internationally. We want to seamlessly connect international customers and partners with the region and promote a better understanding of the Middle East internationally. I hope that this will include more international offices – we are in discussions with various potential partners in the region, but we are not rushing – if the adjustment is not good, we will wait. Where do I see the company in three years? At the top, In Sha`Allah! Gray`s lawyer said that at the 2013 hearing, the partner missed discussions between Flaux and Qureshi about the crucial date because he emailed his client in Djibouti who did not pay him $800 an hour “to sit down and listen.” Gray had “asked two employees to review the documents independently,” and they also missed the wrong date, he said. Not so well established in the UK, now. This guy is amazing. Normally, I share people`s skepticism about BSB. In this case, however, I believe it is unjustified. Litigation and debt collection problems continue to increase. There`s no special formula for this – some markets are struggling and businesses are struggling to collect payments from customers.
