About
I am a US-qualified Emirati lawyer with 13+ years of experience spanning in-house and private practice roles across the Middle East. My expertise covers business operations, regulatory compliance and M&A, with a strong track record in managing legal risk on projects that drive strategic outcomes. Currently, I serve as Legal Director and Company Secretary for Emaar Properties PJSC and Emaar Development PJSC, where I advise senior leadership, manage legal and regulatory risk across multiple jurisdictions, and oversee board governance for the group and its joint ventures.
