What the Team is Known For

In 2025 Freshfields established a standalone office in Riyadh, while also maintaining close links with local practice, the Law Firm of Salah Al-Hejailan. It fields a highly experienced group of lawyers in Saudi Arabia, which has recently been bolstered by inter-office moves. The team is able to advise on a wide range of M&A, joint venture and commercial restructuring matters. The team frequently acts on private equity investments in the healthcare and TMT sectors. Clients benefit from the Riyadh team's very close working relationship with Freshfields' Dubai office.
