We are thrilled to announce that Serena K. Ghanimeh has joined AGPLAW as a Partner, bringing over 25 years of distinguished legal experience across corporate law, international transactions, mergers & acquisitions, arbitration, and maritime law.

With a career spanning complex cross-border contracts in the energy, construction, and shipping sectors, Serena has become a trusted advisor to high-profile clients across the MENA region and internationally. Her expertise extends to corporate structuring, governance, artificial intelligence in contracts, and asset recovery—earning her consistent recognition from Chambers Global in Corporate & Finance (2022–2025).

Serena’s track record includes counselling on some of the most significant M&A deals in the MENA region, including a landmark transaction described as the largest of its kind in the insurance sector. She orchestrated high-stakes arbitration cases before ICC and DIAC tribunals and successfully litigated major white-collar crime matters involving fraud, embezzlement, and international asset tracing.

At AGPLAW, Serena will focus fully on delivering strategic legal solutions to complex international matters including transactional documents. As with all AGPLAW Partners, she will enjoy complete freedom to focus on producing work while the firm manages all operational aspects, ensuring maximum value and efficiency for our clients.

Her appointment marks a new chapter for our firm, reinforcing our strength in international corporate law and furthering our reach across MENA and global markets. Serena’s commitment to ethics, exacting standards and precision, and results-oriented approach align perfectly with AGPLAW’s vision and values.

We are excited to welcome Serena to our leadership team and look forward to the expertise and dynamic energy she brings to our clients and practice.

A very warm welcome to Serena as she joins AGPLAW!
