Stephenson Harwood welcomes partner Richard Hugg to Dubai office
"Stephenson Harwood’s Dubai office has welcomed partner Richard Hugg, who will work in insurance and shipping litigation, focusing on marine and non-marine coverage disputes, policy wording, recoveries and subrogation."
Hugg spent all seventeen years of his legal career in London. His practice covers insurance coverage disputes in both marine and non-marine sectors and related matters, including policy wording, recoveries and subrogation. He joins the Dubai office as a partner, having relocated from Stephenson Harwood’s London office where he was also a partner.
Rania Tadros, Middle East managing partner at Stephenson Harwood, said Hugg’s move to Dubai will significantly strengthen the firm’s services in shipping and insurance litigation and will support the firm’s recent expansion into Saudi Arabia, where his insurance expertise will contribute to the firm’s regional offering.
