Our employment team in the Middle East won ‘Employment Team of the Year’ at the Law Middle East Awards, hosted at the Palazzo Versace Dubai. This was the inaugural Law Middle East Awards, which brought together the best legal firms and practitioners in the region.
The employment team led by Thenji Moyo, alongside Dilini Loku and Naba Noor, has delivered outstanding outcomes for clients over the past 12 months, and this award is testament to all their hard work and dedication. We’re also pleased to say our corporate team was shortlisted for the ‘Corporate Team of the Year’ award.
This win adds to what has already been a groundbreaking year for our team in the Middle East, which has seen us move into a new office space in the Burj Daman Tower in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), as well as continue growing our team and client base, further reflecting the strength and breadth of our offering in the region.
Speaking on the win, Thenji said: “To win this award is an honour and represents the hard work, dedication and spirit of a team that shows up for each other and for our clients every single day. I am extremely proud of what we’ve achieved as a team this year and look forward to us building on our successes over the next 12 months.”
Managing partner in the Middle East, Darren Harris, added: “This award win for our employment team in the Middle East couldn’t be more deserved. Seeing the team in action every day, I know just how hard they work for our clients as well as the expertise with which they do it, and it’s great to see this dedication recognised by Law Middle East. This is an extremely exciting time for Gateley Middle East as we continue to grow our presence in the region, and this is hopefully the first of many awards in years to come!”
