The Dubai Financial Services Authority, the regulatory agency of the Dubai International Financial Centre, a federal financial free zone in the United Arab Emirates, has hired Muna Dandan as its new general counsel following an international search. In her new position, Dandan will be responsible for all legal work carried out by the regulator. She succeeds outgoing GC Michael Ridgeway, as well as Errol Hoopmann, the managing director of policy and legal services. Both lawyers’ contracts have ended and they plan to return to their home countries, according to a statement.
“I am pleased to welcome Muna to our executive team,” said DFSA chief executive Ian Johnston in prepared remarks. “The position of General Counsel carries significant responsibilities for the DFSA and its Board and it is clear that Muna brings an excellent balance of legal and industry knowledge to the DFSA.”
