HFW Wins Infrastructure & Energy And Insurance Firm Of The Year At The Oath Middle East Awards

Global, sector-focused law firm HFW was named Infrastructure & Energy and Insurance Firm of the Year at The Oath Middle East Awards.

HFW was also highly commended in the Employment, Banking & Finance, and Kuwait Firm of the Year categories.

The awards are judged by an independent panel of senior in-house counsel, and celebrate firms that “stand out for their outstanding contributions” and that are “revolutionising the region”.

HFW has been in the Middle East since 2006 and now has 20 partners and 60 lawyers in total across its offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait City, and Riyadh, making it one of the largest and longest-standing practices of any international law firm in the region.

The firm recently strengthened its Kuwait practice with the hire of Partner Kashif Syed – its fifth Middle East Partner hire over the past two years – and established a new entity in Saudi Arabia as one of a select group of international law firms to have received a license from the Saudi Ministry of Justice to practice in the Kingdom.
