Commenting on the awards, Ciaran Bohnacker said: 'These awards reflect the scale and complexity of what is happening in Middle East capital markets. We have advised clients on a number of landmark transactions, particularly in sustainable finance, sovereign issuances and Islamic capital markets, all areas where the pipeline across the region remains strong.'
