The region has seen a transformation towards a digital world, an increase in corporate transactions, growth ‘giga’, projects, public-private partnerships, cross-border industry regulations which have all increased demand for specialised legal professionals.
Demand for Corporate M&A and Banking and Finance Lawyers due to the nature of the region has significantly grown in Saudi Arabia and will continue to do so aligned with VisIon 2030. Cooper Fitch has been matching legal professionals with market trends and sovereign state future plans.
Our team of Legal specialists work closely moving talent across competing firms, moving, transitioning from Private Practice to In-House. The region continues to be a target for lawyers based in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the US and firms based here in the Middle East.
