Stephenson Harwood’s partner Richard Hugg relocates to Dubai

Stephenson Harwood expands its Middle East insurance practice with the relocation of partner Richard Hugg (pictured), from London — the city where he spent all seventeen years of his legal career — to the firm’s Dubai office.

Hugg’s practice spans coverage disputes in both marine and non-marine spaces, as well as related issues including policy wording, recoveries and subrogation.

“[…] Richard’s move to Dubai will significantly strengthen our services in shipping and insurance litigation,” commented Rania Tadros, Middle East managing partner at Stephenson Harwood. “(His) arrival will also support the firm’s recent expansion into Saudi Arabia, where his insurance expertise will form part of our offering across the Middle East region”.
