This insight will draw together four themes: the current state of UK Islamic banks; the possibility of a UK Sovereign Sukuk; UK real estate and its growing importance for Islamic Finance in the country; and the UK's battle to be the hub for Islamic Finance in Europe.

We are pleased to announce the addition of two new partners to our Islamic Finance & Investment Group - Amjad Hussain who joins our Doha office from Eversheds and Sean Crosky who joins our London office from Norton Rose. Having recently been ranked for our Islamic finance practice in Legal 500 UK and Chambers UK, we look forward to continuing to work with you on your Islamic compliant structures and products.
