Sabrina Devenish
Sabrina Devenish is a partner in Harneys Litigation & Insolvency group, based in Dubai.
She has over a decade of expertise in cross-border and domestic litigation, arbitration, and internal investigations, advising both private and sovereign clients on complex, high-profile disputes. Her focus lies on shareholder disputes, private wealth disputes, and disputes involving family offices and ultra-high net worth individuals, across various industries and sectors with a link to offshore jurisdictions (BVI, Cayman).
Before joining Harneys in 2026, Sabrina was part of the International Dispute Resolution practice at two of the largest law firms in the Middle East (international and national), where she focused on the firms’ Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh offices, advising on strategically significant and commercially sensitive matters. Prior to that, she practiced law in Frankfurt and London and worked at a private equity firm, bringing a distinctly commercial and investor-focused perspective to disputes.
Sabrina holds an MBA from a leading German university, further strengthening her commercial and strategic approach to dispute resolution. She is a Solicitor-Advocate (Higher Courts Civil Proceedings) and has the right to represent clients in the higher civil courts throughout England and Wales and Germany, as well as in international arbitration.
Sabrina graduated with a Diploma in International Arbitration from the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and is a Fellow of the CIArb.
