Simmons & Simmons Expands to Abu Dhabi Global Market
International law firm Simmons & Simmons has announced the opening of a new office in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), marking a further expansion of the firm’s operations in the Middle East.
Building on its 30-year presence in the region, the ADGM office will serve as a key hub for the firm’s asset management, investment funds, technology, and AI advisory capabilities, enabling Simmons & Simmons to respond to increasing client demand across these sectors.
As one of the fastest-growing financial centres in the Middle East, the ADGM is strategically important for leading businesses and institutions in asset management, investment funds, and technology.
The new office features a multidisciplinary team offering market-leading expertise to local and international clients. Key team members include:
- Lucy Shurwood (Partner) – Legal technology specialist
- Rezah Stegeman (Partner) – Financial services regulation and derivatives
- Matt Pitman (Partner) – Head of the firm’s Asset Management and Investment Funds (AMIF) sector
- Muneer Khan (Partner) – Middle East Head
Muneer Khan, Middle East Head, commented,
“The ADGM is a dynamic and fast-growing hub at the heart of the region’s growth in asset management, investment funds and technology – all sectors where our clients are seeking innovative, specialist support. With our outstanding multidisciplinary team on the ground, backed by our formidable global network, we are superbly placed to help clients seize the opportunities of this rapidly growing market.”
Emily Monastiriotis, Global Managing Partner, said,
“Opening in the ADGM is a strategically important move for the firm. Building on our 30-year foundation in the Middle East, and following the recent opening of our Riyadh office, it strengthens our ability to support clients across the region’s key financial centres and growth sectors.”
The ADGM office complements Simmons & Simmons’ recently opened Riyadh office and its established Dubai office, expanding the firm’s footprint across the Middle East’s three major financial and investment centres.
