As announced on Monday, Ghaffari will bring his extensive experience in counseling multinational corporations, state-owned entities, financial institutions, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on complex international commercial and construction arbitration matters.
Ghaffari’s client portfolio spans a wide array of stakeholders, including owners and developers, EPC and EPCM contractors, engineers, major equipment suppliers, and insurers.
