Dentons has retained all of its trainee solicitors due to qualify as England & Wales solicitors in the Middle East.
A total of three newly qualified (NQ) solicitors will take up roles in the region this month, two of which trained in the Middle East and one of whom trained in the UK and is relocating to Dubai.
Nada Al Amri, who trained in Muscat, and Hamad Yasin, who trained in Dubai, will both join the firm’s Middle East projects (construction) team; and Kara Toal, who trained in the UK, will join the office of general counsel team in Dubai.
They form part of a cohort of 30 NQ lawyers across Dentons’ UK, Ireland, and Middle East (UKIME) region who have accepted roles at the firm, with a further 19 based in London, seven in Scotland, and one in Milton Keynes.
Dentons trainees in the Middle East looking to qualify under local laws will be confirmed in due course, according to regional qualification timelines.
UKIME CEO Paul Jarvis said in a statement: “I would like to congratulate this year’s cohort of newly qualified solicitors who have shown themselves to be valuable members of the Dentons team, with great potential. I am so pleased that we have continued our high success rate for nurturing and developing homegrown talent across the UKIME region.”
