Biography

A senior legal professional with over 12 years of experience advising on complex disputes, corporate and commercial matters, and legal strategy across Qatar and the wider GCC. I combine extensive private practice experience in international arbitration with robust in-house exposure, bringing a commercially focused approach to legal risk management and business decision-making.

Recognised for my work in high-value construction, infrastructure, and commercial disputes, where I have acted for contractors, investors, and corporate entities in proceedings under the ICC, LCIA, and QICCA rules, as well as Dispute Adjudication Boards (DAB). Beyond disputes, my expertise spans legal operations, cross-border transactions, regulatory frameworks, and risk allocation strategies. I advise a diverse international client base in Arabic, English, and French.
