The core of Faisal’s work relates to domestic and international civil and criminal asset recovery on behalf of governments and commercial organisations and the worldwide enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards.

His work includes commercial litigation (extensively in the DIFC), corruption, civil and criminal fraud, regulatory enforcement, sanctions and professional discipline.
