Latham & Watkins has bolstered its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice in Saudi Arabia by recruiting Leen Zaza as a partner, according to an announcement made on Tuesday. Zaza brings extensive experience in advising Saudi and international companies, private equity firms, investors, government bodies, boards, and senior executives on general corporate regulatory and advisory matters. This strategic move aligns with Latham’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in the Middle Eastern legal market.
Zaza previously practiced at Khoshaim & Associates, a leading Saudi Arabian law firm, and her addition to Latham & Watkins is expected to significantly enhance the firm’s capabilities in the region’s M&A landscape. Her expertise will be instrumental in navigating the complex regulatory environment and facilitating large-scale transactions in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions.
