“KBH led by Ms. Bushra Ahmed and Ms. Natasja Pollemans did outstanding work in my Employment matter versus Frontline Development Partners Ltd before the Court of First Instance DIFC Courts Dubai, UAE.
I appointed KBH midway in what was turning into a losing case for me. KBH quickly took full charge, correctly diagnosed and designed a winning legal strategy. They meticulously crafted the various pleadings prior to the trial. At the 3-day trial, Ms. Bushra Ahmed was razor sharp in mind and speech, penetrating, to the point and fully prepared. Suffice it to say that I was dominant on almost all counts. Thereafter, at the Appeal before a 3 panel bench, KBH brilliantly chiselled and presented arguments on pure points of law with amazing work contributed by Ms. Natasja Pollemans. Once again, I was successful. Throughout, KBH kept the, "client interest first ".
I am grateful to Ms. Natasja Pollemans, Ms. Bushra Ahmed, Mr. DK Singh and all at KBH and highly recommend them.”
Asif Adil
Businessman
“Bushra and Natasja have been wonderful. Both have worked very efficiently and thoroughly, advising me in detail of the legal process and the legal framework underpinning the case, including the claims, their prospects and the possible outcomes. I consider them my trusted advisors that can guide me through anything at any time – in fact, our communications have often taken place outside office hours, across time zones, and even whilst they were on annual leave. Both are extremely dedicated and I feel that I am in safe hands. It is a pleasure to have them as my lawyers”.
Ghazala Abbas
“In 2013 I faced the seemingly impossible task of attempting to recover a very large amount of money badly invested by a so-called Financial Adviser in Dubai. My biggest challenge was finding a law firm equipped, experienced and willing to take on this specific litigation, the conduct of which, involves very complex matters dealing with highly technical investment related issues in the Dubai Courts. I made contact with countless law firms all of whom advised me that they were ill equipped to take on such a unprecedented case. KBH was recommended to me by a lawyer in Bahrain and because of KBH’s reliability, determination and experience in such matters we have been able to take this litigation to the Dubai Courts with confidence. Thanks to DK for his wisdom and relentless probing, Bushra Ahmed for her incredible eye for the smallest detail and Diego Carmona for his memory of the facts and constant updating.
I am eternally grateful for your support and care.”
