On Tuesday, April 17, Tim McCarthy spoke before an audience at the City Bar on the subject of the treatment of issues of Shari’ah law in US courts and under US law. The panel also included Jad Nader of NautaDutilh and Abed Awad, a prominent US expert witness on Shari’ah law. Tim’s portion of the presentation focused on practical aspects of litigating such issues before US adjudicators, particularly in disputes involving Shari’ah-compliant finance and investment transactions, and the pitfalls and opportunities that they present when they arise.
