Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright is further expanding its Middle East banking and finance team with the appointment of new partner Aditi Sanyal.
Aditi, who joins from Simmons and Simmons, focuses on supporting financial institutions across the UAE, Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with their conventional and Islamic financing needs. She has more than a decade of experience in the Middle East and is well versed in the full spectrum of financing transactions. She regularly represents borrowers and lenders across a broad range of financing transactions, including syndicated and bilateral corporate finance, real estate finance, acquisition finance and restructuring.
She will be based in the firm's Dubai office and will work alongside existing general banking and finance partners Mohammed Paracha and Nicholas Robinson in Dubai, as well as Abdulkhaliq Elshayyal in Riyadh. She will also work closely with the projects team, including new partner Prakruthi Gowda who joined the practice earlier this year.

"Aditi is an outstanding addition to our fast-growing Middle East practice, which has doubled in size over the past three years. She further enhances our bench strength in the banking and finance practice across the wider region, bringing invaluable financing experience and a complementary book of clients. We are delighted to welcome Aditi back to the firm as a partner."
Aditi said:
"I am thrilled to be re-joining Norton Rose Fulbright, where I trained 15 years ago. The firm's market leading financing practice, combined with its breadth of offering and global network, make it the ideal platform for me to take my existing practice to the next level and provide an enhanced offering to my clients."
