David Salt, managing partner of Clyde & Co’s Qatar office, said that the firm’s broader strategic plan is to increase capacity to service projects across the region and further strengthen its corporate service offerings.

As International Adviser reported, Clyde & Co last month merged with Barlow Lyde & Gilbert, to create a firm with 270 partners and 1,300 lawyers globally.
