Taylor Wessing has expanded its reach in the Middle East after entering into an association with the Saudi Arabia-based Alsulaim Alawaji & Partners Law Firm.

Established in 1991, Alsulaim Alawaji & Partners has four partners across its Jeddah and Riyadh offices and advises on litigation and corporate matters.

Taylor Wessing’s Dubai office, its only other outpost in the region, has five partners, headed by managing partner Mark Fraser.

“Our association with Taylor Wessing is part of our strategy to provide a highly professional international legal service in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; it also benefits our clients by providing access to experts around the world through the Taylor Wessing family,” said AlSulaim AlAwaji & Partners chairman Osama AlSulaim, in a statement.
