Lawyers and Consultants
Tier-1 Services Since 1799
We operate at the friction points of history.
We are not a collection of isolated departments; we are a single lineage of lawyers and geopolicy consultants that have operated at the intersection of commerce and sovereignty for 230 years. Our firm’s DNA was forged in 1799 on the ramparts of Acre, where our predecessor Jason (Yassin) Abuwasel stood as Soldier-Jurist and Dragoman, mediating between empires to repel a siege during the Napoleonic Wars. From the trade courts of the 19th-century Levant to the corridors of Washington D.C., Melbourne, Toronto, and Abu Dhabi today, our firm has evolved by mastering the development of economies.
We do not just solve problems; we interpret the reality that governs them.
We bridge the divide between global regulatory environments, delivering a response characterized by speed and precision. To date, we have secured outcomes in complex engagements involving over USD 10 billion in total exposure.
The partners leading the firm.
Our executive team is backed by a dedicated group of seasoned lawyers and consultants, providing comprehensive support across multiple jurisdictions.
