How did you get into private client?
When I landed in the Gulf, 15+ years of Gulf presence, with no Common law training nor relevant experience, there was now private client practice to speak of in the region. It was a logical space to start in while all other firms were busy focusing on other fields of the law. Fast forward to 2020 and M/HQ's award winning team is vastly considered the leading practice expert in the Gulf.
What advice would you give rising stars/new lawyers in the private client world?
