Dr Abdool, Senior Partner and Head of Appellate Litigation, has held judiciary positions for over forty years, and was the first Emirati national to be appointed Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court. Where other lawyers spend hours on end attempting to decipher how a court will perceive questions of law, Dr Abdool is the go-to jurist to provide the most definitive answer. We represent private and public sector parties in various industry-wise contentious matters.
