Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP has formally consolidated its presence in Saudi Arabia by obtaining a licence to practice law in the Kingdom. The firm plans to operate out of the capital, Riyadh, through a Saudi professional company arrangement, continuing its partnership with local firm Alrubayyi & Attorneys established in 2022. Details on this significant move are elaborated further here.
The Riyadh office will be spearheaded by reputable Saudi litigator Nasser Alrubayyi. A robust two-partner, eight-attorney team stands ready to wrestle with complex arbitrations and high-stakes construction disputes, Quinn Emanuel’s specialty.
The decision marks another milestone in the mounting surge of global law firms establishing operations in Saudi Arabia, a trend fueled by the lure of Saudi economic growth. This reflects the international legal community’s recognition of the increasing business opportunities presented by expanding Arabian markets.
