Gurmeet Kaur was a partner in the Dubai office of Eversheds Sutherland, having been based in the Middle East for 10 years. Gurmeet has extensive experience advising public and private clients on infrastructure, energy and construction projects, particularly in renewable power, water and transportation sectors.
