As a commercial lawyer with broad international and domestic experience in a variety of sectors, including sports and events, I take a great interest in advising on complex laws which govern businesses of all types. Businesses need the right support and advice, as commercial and corporate law applies in so many ways and in a variety of settings. From advising on sponsorship arrangements, event management, concessions, franchising, licensing and IT contracts on the commercial side and M&A, debt and equity.
International experience in the Gulf
Our international group brings together specialist experts from across the firm, ensuring the key contacts at HCR can help drive your matter forward.
Raj Pahuja qualified in New York in 2000 and England in 2002, and has significant experience in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries, having lived and worked in both the UAE and Bahrain for over 12 years. A trusted advisor to international companies looking to enter the region, he has a broad client base.
Raj is also a key member of the firm’s Sports Law, Technology, and Media and Entertainment teams.
