Trowers & Hamlins strengthens Bahrain team with new recruit

He has also been involved in a number of aspects of the new real estate regulatory regime in Bahrain, as well as advising private individuals on their property dealings.
Abdul-Haq Mohammed, the head of Trowers & Hamlins' international business said:
"We are delighted to welcome Unkar to the team. Unkar has a well deserved reputation in the market and his recruitment bolsters our position as leaders in Bahrain's real estate sector. I am confident that the experience he has gained while working in Bahrain over recent years will further enhance our offering to our clients as they navigate changing times."
Unkar added:
"I am looking forward to working with the team in Bahrain. The landscape for real estate is going through considerable development and I will be using my sector experience to ensure that our clients are fully equipped to take advantage of new opportunities."
