Pinsent Masons Opens Riyadh Office, Strengthening Presence in Saudi Arabia’s Legal Market

Pinsent Masons has officially launched its Riyadh office on March 1, marking the firm’s expanded presence in a competitive legal landscape that includes over 20 U.S. and U.K. law firms. This move signifies a shift in Pinsent Masons’ operational strategy in Saudi Arabia, as its Riyadh practice will function as a branch office. It will now act as a single entity in the region, signaling a change from its former association with Alsabhan & Alajaji law firm. Ibrahim Alajaji, previously a partner at Alsabhan & Alajaji, will now lead the new office as managing partner. Alsabhan & Alajaji will continue its independent operations under Naif Alsabhan’s leadership. For a more detailed account, refer to the original article.
