Global law firm White & Case LLP has boosted its Saudi practice capabilities with the addition of Megren Al-Shaalan as a partner.
"White & Case has long had a strong Saudi practice, and Megren's arrival significantly enhances our capabilities in the Kingdom," said White & Case partner Doug Peel, Head of the Middle East. "Megren has been deeply involved in the design and delivery of Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision initiatives, which are key to the Kingdom's future development and transformation. His knowledge and experience will be a major asset to the Firm as we continue our work in the Kingdom."
Al-Shaalan arrives from the Saudi Royal Court, where he was a Senior Legal Advisor. He advised a number of government offices and entities on prominent projects including NEOM, the Red Sea Project and Qiddiya, helping structure their legal frameworks and establish their legal departments. Al-Shaalan also provided legal counsel on the establishment of a number of other government entities and projects. He has significant experience in public policy and a variety of areas of law, including regulatory, governance, corporate transactions, finance and litigation.
Oliver Brettle, a member of White & Case's global Executive Committee, said: "Investment in our Saudi practice is part of our strategic growth ambitions and the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, is an important market for the Firm. The arrival of Megren, with his experience and strong reputation in Saudi Arabia, will not only add to our corporate capabilities in the Kingdom, but will support the further growth and development of our other key practices and industry groups there."
