Haya Rashed Al Khalifa is considered a strong local law firm by the market. One partner, who uses the firm predominantly for litigation, says: "They are very good as a local firm. We use them more than any other and we have a very good relationship,"
The firm has been been active for several clients establishing funds in the country recently. Partner Ronald Langat advised the Liquidity Management Centre in relation to a setting up the $106 million Bahrain Property Musharaka Trust for Eskan Bank. The first of its kind, the trust was established to fund affordable housing projects in the country. Name partner Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa advised KIPCO Asset Management Company (KAMCO) in its capacity as lead sponsor, investment manager and placement agent of a $50 million fund.
Another notable deal saw the firm advising Hochtieff Facility Management Bahrain in setting up a joint venture with the Bahrain Airport Company, Hochtieff Facility Management Bahrain Airport, which has secured an $85 million six year contract for the operation of all technical systems and airport infrastructure.
