Bio
Nikole Frances Ybanez
My previous company had employed MHLF to help us build a library of legal contracts which we can use as templates. As a procurement officer, I was a the liaison between us and MHLF, while Mohammed was the handling attorney. Despite the extreme technicality involved in the acrylic and fit-out field, Mohammed was more then well-equipped with the legal, commercial and technical knowledge needed to give us airtight agreements. That being said, the task was not what you would call and easy one as we had required in excess of 15 different legal documents and contracts over an admittedly short period of time. Yet he was always reachable and came to our help! My dealing with Mohammed caused my ex-employer to retain their firm for sometime where Mohammed helped us establish proper governance and compliance models for some time.
Roaa Abou Assi
Ever since I started working with Mohammed, I noticed his apparent maturity and wit level of legal thinking, besides being highly cooperative with everyone around him. Mohammed’s drafting and research skills are phenomenal. In light of the extensive workload at the firm, Mohammed has demonstrated high ability to work under pressure in several occasions. I would definitely recommend Mohammed for any job that requires hard work, diversity, legal analysis and perfection.
