Chadbourne & Parke is set to re-establish an office in Dubai after a 14-year absence from the emirate, the New York firm announced today (17 April).

The new office opens for business on 1 May and will be staffed by nine lawyers, with former Chadbourne partner Jack Greenwald returning to head up the practice. Greenwald had quit Chadbourne in 1989 to form his own business, Greenwald Legal Consultancy.
