Middle East

CMS has been supporting our clients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2004. We formally entered the Saudi market in September 2017, which together with our new office in Abu Dhabi (opened in July 2020), has given us one of the most extensive footprints in the Middle East covering Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Turkiye, Lebanon and Iraq. 

With clients undertaking transformational projects as part of Vision 2030, and also simply accessing the biggest market in the Middle East, CMS is bringing international quality, sector based expertise, and extensive experience of assisting on public and private projects together to service all of our clients' needs in the Kingdom. Our Riyadh desk can now offer our local and regional clients access to more than 4,800 lawyers worldwide who can support them with their business.

We seek to provide quality legal advice that is commercial and which adds value to our clients. Our knowledge of Saudi Arabian Law and ability and speed of turn-around ensures that we provide our clients with quality legal advice that is cost-effective and represents value for money. Our ability to retain long-term clients and our excellent relations with large corporate clients, high net worth individuals and key Governmental agencies, is evidence of the quality of our work.

We have market-leading sector expertise in Energy, Technology, Media and Telecommunications, Financial Services (including Islamic Finance), Infrastructure, Funds, Real Estate, Healthcare, Education and Hospitality, growth areas for Saudi Arabia and the region.
