A senior lawyer in Dubai is joining Scotland\u2019s network of trade envoys with a mission to promote Scotland\u2019s interests in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n
Ronnie Graham is managing partner of transatlantic law firm Winston Taylor\u2019s Dubai office, leading its Middle East practice. <\/p>\n
His work includes advising high net worth individuals, families, and private companies across the region on a range of legal matters.<\/p>\n
He joins Scotland\u2019s global network of trade envoys, who use their expertise and connections to open doors for Scottish companies in international markets.<\/p>\n
Scotland\u2019s Economy Secretary Stephen Flynn made the appointment ahead of travelling to the UAE where he will spend two days in Abu Dhabi and Dubai meeting government ministers, investors and business leaders.<\/p>\n
He will also attend Investopia in Abu Dhabi, the UAE Government\u2019s flagship investment forum, taking part in ministerial discussions on economic growth.<\/p>\n

Mr Flynn said: \u201cMy engagement with government ministers, investors and business leaders in the UAE will open doors for Scottish businesses in a region with huge potential for growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cI congratulate Ronnie on his appointment as our new Trade and Investment Envoy to the UAE. His experience and standing across the region\u2019s business and investment community make him ideally placed to help Scottish companies build the relationships they need to succeed in this market.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe successful Investopia Global investment event in Edinburgh last December built momentum for deeper collaboration with UAE partners, and this visit will strengthen those relationships further \u2013 helping with access new markets, win contracts and creating Scottish jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur plans for Scotland Week 2027 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in March will build on this momentum, giving us a platform to deepen ties with the UAE for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
