Curtis Mallet-Prevost Colt & Mosle has expanded its Middle East presence with the hire of Mary Allan, formerly head of infrastructure and projects in Denton Wilde Sapte’s Oman office.

Allan — whose move comes shortly after Denton’s merger deal with Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal went live — joined Curtis this week to head up the U.S. firm’s energy and infrastructure practice in Muscat.
