Trowers & Hamlins relocates partner to Dubai
Trowers & Hamlins has relocated partner and head of India desk Debopam Dutta (pictured) to Dubai, as part of the firm’s strategy to grow its banking and finance practice in the UAE.
Dutta’s presence in Dubai, alongside Abu Dhabi-based partner Elias Moubarak, is intended to deliver a fully integrated banking and finance capability across the UAE and support the firm’s advisory on capital flows between the Middle East and international corridors, particularly India, the ASEAN and the UK.
Jeremy Ingham, head of international at Trowers & Hamlins, described the relocation as “a significant step in the continued development of our banking and finance practice, forming a core part of our international growth strategy,” adding that it “strengthens the strategic link between the Gulf region and our India offering”.
The profile
Dutta advises banks, financial institutions, agents, REITs, government-linked entities, sponsors, funds and multinational corporations on a broad spectrum of financing transactions, debt restructuring mandates and regulatory matters. His practice spans the Middle East, South Asia and the ASEAN region across multiple industries and asset classes, with extensive experience in Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as well as a track record in cross-border matters involving the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
