2015 Islamic Finance Rate Report offers first in-depth look at legal specialists in Islamic finance

Research and Markets has added the 2015 Islamic Finance Rate Report from US-based Valeo Partners to their portfolio.

The 2015 Islamic Finance Rate Report is the first in-depth look into this resurgent financial and legal practice globally, identifying individual attorney hourly rates in Islamic finance, their firms, city and country of practice from 2009 to 2015.

According to Research and Markets, Islamic finance is similar to conventional finance as it features banks, capital markets, fund managers, investment firms, and insurance companies. Unlike conventional finance, it is governed both by Islamic law as well as by conventional finance industry rules and regulations. Existing since at least the 12th century, this practice will continue to grow due to the wealth of Muslim countries and the burgeoning global economy.

Companies mentioned in the April 2015 report include:

- Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld
- Baker Botts
- Bracewell & Giuliani
- Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton
- Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle

New report on halal testing markets from AcuBiz Consulting released in November

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the Halal Testing Markets - Regulatory Trends in Southeast Asia by AcuBiz Consulting to their portfolio.

According to the report, demand for halal testing is on the rise worldwide. Halal certification can open up significant global trade opportunities for companies in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industry segments. This is being viewed as a means to encourage exports, tourism and research. Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are the most promising regions for halal products even though demand is global and growing. Economic opportunities for halal food exist even in non-Muslim countries, since halal certification is being perceived as an assurance of quality by consumers in general.

Halal standards are applicable not only to the end products but also to the ingredients and processes used in the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, and transportation. The halal economy covers stakeholders such as the butchers involved in ritual slaughtering of meat and poultry, food manufacturers, retailers, restaurant chains, shipping companies, and halal certification agencies.

Southeast Asia is at the forefront of developing halal testing regulations and has established processes for halal certification related to several industry sectors. Malaysia is leading the efforts in the region. Since 2006, Malaysia has been recognised as an international halal-hub for the production and trade of halal products and services.

This report focuses on the regulatory trends related to halal testing and halal certification. Particular emphasis is on the new opportunities being created by this emerging trend for technology companies with diagnostic platforms that can offer accurate and fast detection of non-halal components in various sample matrices in the areas of food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.


Companies mentioned in the report include Agilent Technologies, Asia-Pacific Special Nutrients, BIORON, Capital Biotech, Eurofins, Genon Laboratories, Halalysis, InstantLabs, Lynxcells Biosciences (formerly BST Consultancy & Services), Olipro Biotechnology, Profound Kestrel Laboratories (a subsidiary of Revongen Corporation Centre), Progenus, QIAGEN, Revongen Corporation Centre, and XEMA, formerly known as Xema-Medica.
