01 Sep 2025 | 11:08 am | 1 min. read
International law firm Pinsent Masons has appointed partner William (Bill) Reichert to join the corporate team in the firm’s Dubai office from 1 September.
Bill joins Pinsent Masons from Charles Russell Speechlys where he led the Middle East corporate practice for six years. Before Charles Russell Speechlys, he spent almost a decade with K&L Gates LLP.
Dual-qualified in the United States and England & Wales, Bill has over 25 years’ experience in helping deliver sophisticated corporate transactions including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, private equity deals, venture capital investments and restructuring and compliance matters.
He specialises in private, mid-market M&A transactions, both buy-side and sell-side, from seed series investments for start-ups to multi-billion-dollar acquisitions for multinational companies. Regarding his sector expertise, Bill has a broad practice with a particular focus on real estate, TMT, finance, retail, energy, and natural resources.
Mohammad Tbaishat, partner and head of Pinsent Masons’ Middle Eastern corporate and M&A practice, commented, “As Dubai and the wider Middle East continue to grow economically, Bill’s arrival is ideally timed to advise clients across the key sectors driving this evolution. His expertise, allied with his impressive list of local and international clients, will help ensure we capitalise on this growth and continue to expand our Middle East business.”
Bill added, “I’m thrilled to join Pinsent Masons which has an outstanding reputation in Dubai and the wider Middle East. The region is enjoying significant economic success with growing numbers of complex corporate transactions and regulatory reform meaning premium legal services are in ever greater demand. I’m confident that joining Pinsent Masons will allow me to continue to deliver my clients’ most critical and complex transactions.”
His appointment reflects the success that Pinsent Masons’ Middle East corporate team has achieved in recent years and is the latest in a series of significant senior hires into Pinsent Masons’ international corporate team. In May, corporate energy partner Chris Sawyer joined the firm’s Aberdeen office and healthcare and higher education partner Rachel Soundy joined in Birmingham.
