The market is in accord when considering Abdullah Kh Al-Ayoub & Associates with clients expressing their appreciation of the firm and peers feeling it has earned it's rank. "They provided a very good service. Everything was done on time," says one client adding: "They would always get back to us quickly." Managing partner and founder, Abdullah Kh Al-Ayoub, is a name that continually arises when peers consider leading individuals at the firm.
The practice is split between the Arabic law division led by Mohammad Hassan Omar and the international department governed by Prateek Shete.
The firm is recognised for it's experience in the oil industry and has been active on several mandates in this sector. Shete and Hassan Omar took the lead advising a US company on a $140 million acquisition of a controlling stake in a Kuwaiti petroleum company in November 2010.
A further deal saw Shete advise a leading South Korean IT services company on a $400 million contract for engineering, procurement and construction with a Kuwaiti Oil Company
On behalf of another a Japanese power company Shete advised on a $400 million bid for a power substation project tendered by the Ministry of Water and Electricity.
An ongoing transaction sees the firm active for a Kuwaiti company, renegotiating and restructuring a joint venture with a Canadian based health services company to establish a molecular imaging medical and research centre in Kuwait.
