UK-based Clifford Chance, a leading international law firm, has announced that its specialist corporate advisor Jason Mendens has been relocated from the company's Dubai office to its Abu Dhabi unit effective May 1.
Mendens is a specialist corporate advisor to public, private and government organisations and has particular expertise in the infrastructure, energy and resources sectors.
He has worked in the Middle East for over six years, acting for UAE, regional and international clients across a range of Middle East and African M&A mandates, said a statement from the British firm.
Mendens recently advised Mitsui & Co on its 30 billion Yen ($269.38 million) investment in Africa's Export Trading Group as well as Mubadala Infrastructure Partners on the sale of its UAE social infrastructure platform, it said.
Mo Al Shukairy, regional managing partner (elect) for Clifford Chance in the Middle East, said: “We have had an award-winning practice in the Middle East for nearly 45 years, and our commitment to the region is as strong as ever.”
“Mendens’ corporate expertise and depth of client relationships will bring new strength to our Abu Dhabi office and broaden the firm's M&A capability for clients across the Middle East,” he added.
