The leading law firm in the Middle East and North Africa, Al Tamimi & Company, has strengthened capabilities in its Real Estate practice by announcing the hire of Andrew Thomson.
Andrew, who joins from Eversheds Sutherland and who will be based in Al Tamimi & Company’s Dubai office, will come in as Partner and Head of Real Estate. Andrew brings with him 17 years international legal experience and will be joining the largest, and most diverse real estate and construction sector team in the Middle East and North Africa.
Commenting on the appointment, Samer Qudah Managing Partner at Al Tamimi & Company, said:
“Andrew is an important addition to the team and we are delighted to have him on board. He joins us as the market shows positive signs of rebounding from a turbulent period that impacted real estate across the region. The real estate sector is one of the key economic market drivers in the Middle East and North Africa, and we also recognise the importance of our real estate practice to the firm. “
On joining Al Tamimi & Company, new Partner and Head of Real Estate, Andrew Thomson, said:
“I am delighted to be joining the region’s preeminent law firm. Al Tamimi & Company is one of the few firms that has a team with significant expertise on the ground across the entire Middle East and North Africa. The firm’s real estate practice is a regional powerhouse with the largest and most diverse team of specialist lawyers in the market.”
“I see this as a period of transition for the real estate market as it re-bounds after a tough 18 months. In particular, I believe the data centre market is one to watch across the region as an area of growth. With a push towards ‘smart cities’ and initiatives such as Dubai Vision 2021, Saudi Vision 2030, and New Kuwait Vision 2035, this all makes the region a prime candidate to drive the data centre market. For us as a real estate practice it is going to be one of our key focus areas.”
Samer Qudah added: “Andrew is a well-respected figure in the real estate community, his experience, expertise and regional knowledge will be an asset for us as we continue to ensure our clients receive the best advice and representation."
As Head of the practise Andrew will be leading the region’s most comprehensive legal real estate team, one that was the first dedicated real estate practice within the region, and it is widely regarded as the largest and most diverse sector teams in the Middle East and North Africa. The specialist team covers all varieties of real estate work, including property finance, funds, property acquisition and sale, development work and property litigation.
