Historic attitudes favouring globalisation are fundamentally changing....
The firm which celebrates 175 years of operation in 2015 closed the office in the UAE's second largest city in January. It transferred all of its professional and other staff to its other bases in the Middle East. Baker Botts now has 15 offices around the world.
Latham & Watkins
The move appears to have preceded the closure of Doha and Abu Dhabi offices by Latham & Watkins. Doha is closing by the end of next month and Abu Dhabi staff are to transfer into the Dubai base by the end of the year. Latham has said that its move is not an attempt to cut costs as it wants to keep all 35 lawyers that it has in the region. Source: Legal Week
