Shearman & Sterling is focusing on expanding its practice in Abu Dhabi.  The firm transferred three partners and seven associates to the office late last year.  Two more were sent this year, with a plan to send partner Ian Nisse in 2010.  This brings the office to 30 attorneys, up from last year’s 16.  Shearman & Sterling has been in Abu Dhabi for the last 25 years.
