Sachin Kerur, head of Pinsents in the Gulf area, said: ‘This region is a growing part of our international business and to capitalise on the significant opportunities it is likely to present in the years ahead, we fully understand the need to invest in and develop local talent, including Emirati and Qatari nationals.’
