Allen & Overy has elected Ibrahim Mubaydeen as new managing partner of its Abu Dhabi office.
The appointment follows that of Wim Dejonghe and David Morley as managing and senior partner, respectively, and Kevin O’Shea as managing partner in New York.
The Abu Dhabi office was launched last year but had been operating without a managing partner until now; Dubai managing partner Simon Roderick had been overseeing it in the interim. Roderick remains managing partner of the UAE.
