‘Mohammed Paracha is a master tactician. He focuses on solutions rather than conflict for the sake of the transaction.'
‘Collaboration with NRF is always easy and the Dubai team seems to be an extension of our legal in-house team. As English and Islamic law qualified, the Partner managed to help us in very unusual situations and is always available. Collaboration is really good and the network of NRF in other juridictions helped us tremendously in solving hurdles.
