Hussein is qualified to practice in England and Wales and has experience of having worked around the world. He has particular skills in investment treaty disputes in the energy and infrastructure sectors, advising on arbitrations under ICSID, UNCITRAL and LCIA rules.
"I see a huge range of opportunities for me to bring my experience to bear in assisting Withers' international clients. The firm's international reach offers a great platform for me to develop my practice in international arbitration and international law and I look forward to working with my new colleagues around the world," says Hussein.
