International law firm Holman Fenwick Willan (HFW) has agreed to collaborate with Emirates Shipping Association, the voice of the United Arab Emirates private maritime industry and one of the world’s top maritime organisations.
HFW supported the establishment and registration of the Association at a federal level and has provided it with ongoing legal and strategic support. According to the new agreement, HFW will continue to provide legal and strategic help for the next two years.
“As the world’s leading shipping law firm, with the largest shipping and logistics team in the Middle East, we are proud to support the UAE shipping community. Our ongoing work with the Emirates Shipping Association gives us an opportunity to help promote and develop the UAE’s maritime sector, and we look forward to progressing this strategic collaboration,” stated Yaman Alhawamdeh, UAE Managing Partner at HFW.
He further added, “This also goes towards HFW’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s In-Country Value program in terms of increasing the private sector’s contribution to research and development in the maritime sector.”
HFW has been in the Middle East for over 15 years and currently has 20 partners and over 50 lawyers with offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait City, and Riyadh.
