borrowers on transactions, acquisitions, refinancing and
restructures.

commitment both to his profession and the wider community. As well
as quickly establishing himself as a trusted advisor within the
banking and finance community in the West Midlands, the judges were
impressed by his commitment to promoting Birmingham as the city of
choice for Islamic Finance and his passion for community action,
demonstrated through his work as a mentor with the charity
Mosaic.
Paul Ray, Head of the Banking Team at Browne Jacobson, said
:
"Faizal is a highly skilled and experienced solicitor and in the
short time that he has been with the firm he has made a
considerable contribution. We are all very proud of his achievement
in winning this award."
