Über mich

I specialize in corporate and commercial law, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, equity investments, general corporate advisory, commercial contracts and initial public offerings. I have extensive experience advising a wide range of domestic and international clients across multiple sectors, including advanced manufacturing, energy & utilities, transport, healthcare and TMT. I have worked in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2009 (with a brief interruption in 2017) and been involved in some of its most complex and significant transactions.
