The firm was launched in 2006 as an offshoot of the law practice of the firm’s lead partner, Yada Hashim Williams. To date, the firm has pooled a wealth of experience and a substantial amount of professional man-years in predominantly commercial law practice, whether transactional or in litigation. The firm’s growth since its inception has been rooted in our belief in establishing long-term interpersonal relationships between our clients and ourselves, which has brought along huge portfolios along newer, larger and broad-spectrum practice areas.
