Business and Legal Training from Hugh Fraser International

Helping UK North Sea companies with their internationalisation initiatives

Following the success of HFI’s innovative Master Class in International Oil and Gas Law and Contracts launched in February 2010 by AGCC, we are now rolling out HFI’s integrated programme of specialist business and legal training seminars for executives in Aberdeen oil and gas related businesses.

Hugh Fraser International (HFI), the Middle East-based specialist oil and gas legal and business consultancy headed up by Aberdonian, Hugh Fraser, has developed this professional series of high quality training courses to offer businesses stepping into the international arena a complete business portfolio of expert skills for use in their global endeavours.

Hugh Fraser, experienced oil and gas legal counsel and Group managing partner of HFI says, ‘With the present estimated value of the international oil and gas market at around US$345 billion, this co-ordinated set of training courses recognises the ambition of Aberdeen’s high calibre companies to expand onto the global market place. It is therefore targeted at business people who want to enhance their commercial awareness and legal know-how to confidently do business in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region – one of the world’s fastest-growing and exciting business environments.’
