Nusaiba Alraes
Associate
Nusaiba is an associate at Eltumi Partners.
Having started at the firm as a Legal Assistant, she worked her way up due in no small part to her immense drive and eagerness to get results for the firm’s clients.
She has gained experience across the full range of the firm’s practice areas, bringing her passion and incisive legal mind to each matter. She is developing expertise particularly in Libyan corporate and project work, including company structures and M&A, as well as project work with a focus on EPC/BOT/BOOT and other construction contracts.
Nusaiba’s work includes international matters, such as projects concerning EU anti-dumping regulations and international sanctions affecting Libyan assets and state entities. Additionally, she was a core member of the firm’s team that acted as lead international counsel on the development of a convertible loan structure for an equity acquisition in a European hydrogen business, and the related negotiation and incorporation of a joint venture vehicle for the development of supply routes to the European hydrogen market.
An awardee of the prestigious Chevening Scholarship for her LLM degree, Nusaiba has shown keen legal intellect from the start, having graduated among the top of her LLB class at the University of Tripoli, and applies this in her work at the firm alongside a broad commercial acumen.
She brings a high degree of emotional intelligence to both her work and her interactions with clients, opposing teams and colleagues, with the ability to build relationships and work collectively towards an end goal. Taking ownership of the cases she works on, she holds the trust clients place in the firm with great responsibility.
