New hires for Taylor Wessing in Germany and the Middle East
Taylor Wessing is delighted to announce the appointments of new partner Tobias Neufeld and consultant Donald Turley to its Dusseldorf and Dubai offices respectively.
Donald Turley will head up Taylor Wessing Middle East's Construction practice. Previously Senior Manager within the legal branch of Tatweer Dubai, Donald is a major projects property and construction lawyer with more than 30 years experience in Australia and New Zealand and, more recently, Dubai. He will work alongside Jeremy Cama and Scott Flint in the Taylor Wessing Construction team.
Donald Turley comments:
"I am delighted to join Taylor Wessing as head of the Construction team here in Dubai. I was particularly attracted by the enthusiasm of the Dubai partners and the size of the Taylor Wessing team in Dubai, as well as by the ready ability to link in with the firm-wide expertise of Taylor Wessing's international capability. There is an excellent match of my skills with the goals of Taylor Wessing here in Dubai and the UAE."
Tobias Neufeld joins Taylor Wessing from Ashurst in Munich, where he was head of the firm's local Employment practice. The German Taylor Wessing Employment team now counts 33 lawyers, making it one of the largest practices of its kind in Germany.
Tobias Neufeld comments:
“My decision to join Taylor Wessing was determined by the strong presence of the employment teams in all its German and international offices; and by the fact that Taylor Wessing's employment practice is not limited to support services in transactions, but is a separate, strong department of its own, which allows me to offer clients highly specialised yet comprehensive services. As a full-service firm Taylor Wessing gives me the possibility to provide interdisciplinary services, combining employment law with corporate/M&A, insurance law and insolvency law. Finally, I look forward to going back to the Dusseldorf area and to working closely with employment partners Marc André Gimmy and Sascha Grosjean."
