Background

About Ben Crompton

As Managing Partner of Crompton Partners I oversee both the sales and leasing teams and manage the overall strategic direction of the company in Abu Dhabi. I personally specialize in the investment and legal side of property and real estate in Abu Dhabi, am published and quoted regularly in the media with regards to the property and real estate market in the Capital and have written a significant amount of guidance on the legal and practical aspects of leasing and selling land, buildings and individual property. As a company we cover all aspects of real estate, from leasing and selling family homes to staff accommodation, building and land sales and labour camp rental. Real estate is a personal passion but also a family business for me. My brother runs Crompton Partners Estate Agents, providing real estate services in Dubai, and my family in the UK are also involved in real estate, particularly property management. I graduated in law from Cambridge University (Jesus College) from where I went on to work in a Hedge Fund in London before becoming a Hedge Fund and Private Equity Lawyer with Ashurst and then Akin Gump. I left after seven years to open a Real Estate Firm in Abu Dhabi, Crompton Partners - with my brother Barney opening the Dubai branch.
