Fulbright’s Middle East practice group head, John Lonsberg, commented: “Financings originating in the Middle East and Islamic Asia are growing in number and dollar amount, fueled in part by the great amounts of liquidity in those regions, and in part by the rapidly growing popularity of embracing Islamic values. Both the US and London markets are seeing material growth in these financings.”
Earlier this year Fulbright announced it was making up 11 new partners, including two in its City office. The firm has also made a number of lateral hires in its London office recently, taking on Barlow Lyde & Gilbert partner Melanie Ryan to its disputes practice last month as well as former BG Group general counsel Stefan Ricketts as a partner in its energy team the previous month
