Middle East practice expands with Saudi association

Global firm HFW has announced the expansion of its Middle East practice through an association with Mohammed Al Khiliwi in Saudi Arabia.

Pending registration with the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Mr Mohammed Al Khiliwi will become a partner with HFW as part of the move. The firm’s push into Saudi Arabia follows its recent opening of an office in Abu Dhabi in October 2018.

HFW’s global senior partner Richard Crump (pictured) commented: ‘This is another significant step in the continued development of our Middle East practice. The region is a priority for each of our global industry groups—aerospace, commodities, construction, energy, insurance and shipping—and is fast becoming a major centre for international dispute resolution, which is a key part of our practice globally. Our Middle East practice has more than doubled over the past three years and we have ambitious plans for further growth across our core sectors and services, as we seek to establish HFW as the leading international law firm in the region.’
