What the Team is Known For

King & Spalding has a strong FinTech offering in the MENA region, with offices in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The firm is particularly strong in venture capital financing rounds, financial services regulation and investment fund formation.

Work Highlights

  • King & Spalding advised Saudi Technology Ventures on its investment in NymCard, a card issuer and payments processor. The deal was structured as a non-dilutive investment in callable equity, a first of its kind in the Middle East region, whereby the business' founders have the option to buy back the fund's equity investment in stages over the maturity period of the investment.
