ALEC EMMERSON, CLYDE & CO
SUSIE ABDEL-NABI, CLYDE & CO
Alec moved into the disputes sector on joining Clyde & Co in 1977, having previously spent five years handling corporate insolvencies. He managed the Hong Kong office from 1984 onwards, acting on headline cases such as the Carrian fraud and many ‘phantom’ ship frauds. Alec also handled numerous arbitrations, investment disputes, disaster and commercial contract litigation, and most areas of insurance dispute resolution. He returned to London in 1996, and then moved to the Dubai office in 1999 as Head of the Dispute Resolution Group. In 2008, Alec retired from the partnership to work as an independent arbitrator, and remains with the firm as a consultant acting for clients in complex disputes (including ADCCAC, DIAC, DIFC-LCIA, ICC, LCIA, LMMA, SCMA & SIAC disputes). He sits as an arbitrator in a wide range of disputes under most of these institutions’ rules as well as in UNCITRAL and other ad hoc arbitrations. Alec has been listed as a leading individual in the International Who’s Who of Commercial Arbitration since 2009.
Susie joined Clyde & Co in 2002 and qualified as a solicitor in 2005. She has worked in both Clyde & Co’s London and Dubai offices and is currently a legal director based in Clyde & Co’s dispute resolution department in Dubai.

Most recently, Susie is regularly appointed as an arbitrator by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre in commercial and property disputes and she has extensive experience in local and international arbitrations, including at the DIAC, LCIA, ICC and ZCC.
