Afridi & Angell was Honorured with an Award from DIFC Courts Pro Bono Prgramme
November, 2012 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
At the Dubai International Financial Centre (‘DIFC’) Courts' Pro Bono Gala on Thursday, 11 October, Khadija S Ali, a barrister at Afridi & Angell, was honoured with an award in recognition of her dedication and commitment to the DIFC Courts' Pro Bono Programme. On the night, there were four awards up for grabs but Ms Ali’s award was the only award for individual contribution.
Of the awardees, the Chief Justice of the DIFC Courts Michael Hwang made an honorary mention and spoke exclusively of Ms Ali. He made specific reference to a case where she appeared before him in very challenging circumstances. He singled her out as an example to be emulated and praised her passion and tireless work on behalf of the Programme.
The event was very successful with many high profile figures in attendance, including local and DIFC courts' judges as well as representatives from the top tier law firms in Dubai.
