For competitors the Arab Law Bureau is synonymous with practice head Alaa Hamad, who is well liked and respected within the market. "The firm is run by this chap Alla, a very nice guy and a good lawyer," says one.
The firm says it's seen a drop off in mandates over the last 12 months but it has still secured several significant roles. Hamad, Rad Eltreki and Sean Khalid advised Qatar Gas on maintaining consolidated sharing arrangements for LNG (liquefied natural gas) infrastructure between Qatargas and Ras Gas in a deal which closed in October 2010.
On the finance side, Hamad has been advising Standard Chartered on various financings to Qatari companies.
