Chadbourne & Parke opens office in Dubai
After a gap of 14 years, international law firm Chadbourne & Parke, LLP, is returning back to UAE by opening an office in Dubai in May. Former Chadbourne partner Jack Greenwald who has practiced law in Dubai for over two decades, will head the firm's Dubai office. Besides Greenwald, the firm's Dubai office will initially have eight other lawyers. The decision to open office in Dubai is part of the Chadbourne's emerging marketing strategy. Over the years, the firm has witnessed growth in its client relationships in the Middle East. It decided in favor of Dubai in view of the strategic importance of the UAE border, the firm's continuing work over there, and the emirate's growth as a world financial center. Its Dubai operations will benefit the firm by serving its clients in Gulf States, Turkey, North Africa, and Sub-Sahara Africa more cost-effectively.
