“Siraj is currently assisting us with a project in Saudi. Until he came on board were were experiencing difficulties and delays with the respective authority. Once Siraj took control of things, the issues were resolved within a very short time and with the results we required. Siraj is a true professional and I would recommend his services to others.”

“Siraj is a serious and reliable Legal Advisor with very high moral standards. He has a profound knowledge of Sharia’a Compliant Finance, well beyond the “ready-made, one-size-fits-all” Islamic solutions. He was instrumental in the closing of a recent deal in Saudi Arabia and I’d be happy to work with him again!”
Vice President
Project & Structured Finance -Bank – Client

“I took over from Siraj but shadowed him for a few months before he left. Something I noticed was Siraj’s dedication and persistence. Both qualities make Siraj a particularly effective negotiator. He has a great strategic grasp on a situation which is combined with a significant presence. Similar comments have been made by the internal clients, whom he served, for a number of years. Whilst at ISS UK, Siraj set up a number of detailed and effective systems. The basis of these systems is still used today across a number of areas (finance; risk; competition; and data protection). Siraj built the role of General Counsel at ISS UK and he couldn’t have achieved this without stepping up and really understanding what was required and then tirelessly working to deliver as much as was possible. I’m grateful for his hard work.”
