General counsel from leading organisations ADNOC, Careem, Drake & Scull, and Sunset Hospitality Group are set to headline Law Middle East‘s inaugural event, Women in Law Forum 2025, taking place next week on the morning of June 24. Secure your place.
Careem general counsel Daniela Bartolo will join ADNOC Group senior vice president & general counsel, group legal commercial & operations Danielle Brownrigg; Drake & Scull group general counsel Ahmed El-Bayouk; and Sunset Hospitality Group general counsel Maude El Khoury for a panel discussion hosted by Law Middle East editor Aishah Hussain.

They will share the reasons why they decided to move in-house, what the transition was like, and whether they encountered any challenges along the way, as well as advice for those looking to do the same.
Each speaker brings a unique perspective from their respective industries—technology, energy, construction, and hospitality. They will explore how the role of general counsel has evolved within their specific industries, particularly in the context of the Middle East’s economic diversification, while sharing examples of how they have helped shape strategic business decisions.
They will also offer advice to the more than 200 delegates registered for the event on building and developing a high-performing legal team, cultivating strong relationships with external counsel, and maximising value from legal partnerships.
