In March Links Group was presented with two highly reputable industry awards – the ‘Partners Forum Award 2016’ by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED) for its strategic partnership with the Dubai Investment Development Agency (Dubai FDI), and the ‘Best Small Business’ accolade at the inaugural FinanceME Business Vision Awards for its continuous development as a top performing SME.

Links Group is also proud to have been shortlisted for the ‘Legal Counsel of the Year’ category at the upcoming Corporate Counsel Middle East Awards 2016. The awards aim to recognise exceptional achievement by private practice and in-house lawyers working in local and international companies and law firms.

These achievements underscore the success of Links Group’s highly talented team and thorough understanding of the ever-evolving industry in which we operate. We recruit the best and brightest minds to deliver a top-notch service to our clients so we are really pleased that their efforts are being recognised by such reputable organisations.

On that note, we are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Non-Executive Chairman Stephen Paterson. Stephen brings a wealth of board experience to the team with a proven track record in financial services, and merger & acquisitions in particular. Based in the UK, Stephen will support the team in assisting foreign companies entering the Middle East, in line with the vision and aspirations of our key strategic government partners.
