Less than a fortnight after opening its second office in Saudi Arabia (Jeddah), Trowers & Hamlins has brought four new lawyers on board in Bahrain.
Rizal Mansor (Wedlake Bell, UK) and Timothy Goh (Allen & Gledhill, Singapore) were added to the corporate department, Niall McMorrow (Keypoint, Bahrain) joined the firm’s banking team, and Peter Hawkes (Cobbetts, UK) became the sixth lawyer in Trowers’ real estate team.
In addition to these lateral hires, the firm also promoted Bahrain-based banking lawyer Jeremy Ingham to its partnership. Ingham’s promotion means he is the firm’s sixth partner in Bahrain office and its 123rd worldwide.
Last month Trowers became only the third international firm to have dual offices in Saudi Arabia after it opened in Jeddah via an association with local law firm Feras Al Shawaf Law Office. Hogan Lovells and US firm Crowell & Moring both opened their Jeddah offices in Q1 2010.
