Harneys bolsters Dubai Litigation & Insolvency practice with new partner hire

Sabrina has over a decade of expertise in cross-border litigation, advising both private and sovereign clients on complex, high-profile disputes. Her focus is on shareholder disputes, private wealth disputes, and disputes involving family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across various industries and sectors. Before joining Harneys, Sabrina was part of the International Dispute Resolution practice at two of the largest law firms in the Middle East (international and national), where she focussed on the firms’ Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh offices.

Ian Mann, Dubai Managing Partner at Harneys, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Sabrina to our Dubai team. Her extensive experience handling complex, high-profile disputes for both private and sovereign clients, combined with her unique commercial perspective gained from her earlier career at a private equity firm, makes her an invaluable addition to our offering. Sabrina’s deep expertise in shareholder disputes and private wealth matters will significantly enhance our ability to serve our clients across the Middle East.”

Sabrina’s appointment comes on the heels of the firm’s December 2025 launch of its Dubai office, a significant milestone in its global expansion. It also follows the recent appointments of Ilona Groark, Ben McCosker, and Wei Lee Lim as partners in the firm’s growing Dispute Resolution team.

Harneys has been at the forefront of the development of offshore jurisprudence for decades and has been involved in some of the most significant global disputes, winning keynote victories for its clients and often helping shape the law.

Harneys remains mindful of the uncertainty currently affecting parts of the region, and the firm’s thoughts are with those impacted. The team continues to support its clients, colleagues, and partners across the Middle East during this period.
