The ADGM Book: Launch Reception

We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of The ADGM Book, which provides practitioners with a helpful commentary of the ADGM Courts Procedure Rules 2016 and the ADGM Practice Directions, authored by Daniel Lewis and Daniel Jukes, members of Wilberforce Chambers.

In keeping with the Courts’ paperless approach, this is an online publication with clickable links for readers’ convenience. It includes a foreword from Lord Hope of Craighead KT (Chief Justice of the ADGM Courts) who explains: “Until now the ADGM Courts Procedure Rules 2016 and the ADGM Practice Directions have enjoyed a separate existence, each searchable on its own under its own heading. Bringing them together in a single volume makes access to them so much easier. That is the service that this book seeks to provide. […] Updating will be another part of the service. This will be achievable in an instant without the delay and cost that would be inevitable if we were to publish this volume in book form.”

To celebrate the launch of this online publication, ADGM and Wilberforce Chambers will be hosting a networking event at BB Social, in The Rosewood Hotel, Al Maryah Island – Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday 28th October, from 4pm. Guests will hear remarks from Lord Hope (on-screen) and Linda Fitz-Alan (Registrar and Chief Executive of ADGM Courts), as well as the author barristers’ explanation of the book. A QR code will be available to scan at the event to enable download of the publication.

Thank you to the ADGM Courts for all your support and enthusiasm surrounding this project and for taking the lead in organising the launch event. Special thanks, in particular, go to: Lord Hope, Linda Fitz-Alan, Adam Peters (Senior Legal Counsel) and Zoe Lamb (Marketing Director).
