What clients say

Extensive knowledge and understanding of the GCC legal system, both in terms of the actual law and also the way in which this is applied.

Legal 500 EMEA, Saudi Arabia, 2022

They are forward thinking and very commercial in their approach. The team will also go above and beyond to meet client requirements.

Legal 500 EMEA, Saudi Arabia, 2022

They are very responsive, have strong expertise and are very knowledgeable.

Chambers Global, Saudi Arabia, 2022

Their ability to step into our shoes as a client and address the challenges we face... Sometimes, when we compare advice received from Clyde & Co and other international firms, the difference is very clear! We subsequently stopped using all other law firms.

Legal 500, EMEA, Saudi Arabia, 2021

Clyde & Co Middle East is a full service firm in the region, unlike other international firms who only have a satellite office. This is a huge benefit when trying to execute complex projects and entering the region for the first time. Sometimes when we compare advice received from Clyde & Co and other international firms, the difference is very clear! We subsequently stopped using all other law firms.

Legal 500, EMEA, Saudi Arabia, 2021

Very quick to respond to queries and provides invaluable advice.
