DLA Piper has recruited former Allen & Overy project finance and Islamic finance expert Shehzaad Sacranie as a partner in the firm’s Abu Dhabi office.
The move is a welcome enhancement of the Islamic finance practice following the departure of former global Islamic finance head Oliver Agha last year.
It is the third addition to Abu Dhabi in recent times, following the moves of technology and sourcing partner Hinal Patel and immigration specialist Kerry Scott-Patel.
