International law firm Trowers & Hamlins has been recognised for the first time in the Top Tier of Islamic Finance firms in the UK market by Legal 500
This ranking puts the firm in the top 5 firms in the market, which is a significant achievement highlighting the ground-breaking work done by the team in a space populated by more 'traditional' banking and finance firms. The cross-office, cross-continent and cross-discipline team is led by co-heads Sarah Gooden and Salman Ahmed and supported by a team including Nick Edmondes and spread across the firm's offices in the UK, the Middle East and South East Asia.
Partner Abdul-Haq Mohammed, head of Trowers & Hamlins international business said:
"Islamic Finance is an area we have concentrated on since its inception as a niche within the UK banking industry. It goes hand in hand with our leading reputation in real estate and our strength in advising Middle Eastern and Malaysian clients invest into the UK. This recognition by Legal 500 has been a long time coming and underscores the tremendous work our pioneering team has done over the years, bringing together expertise across a number of disciplines."
