White & Case has entered into an alliance with Law Firm of AlSalloum and AlToaimi in Saudi Arabia, as its previous five-year association with Waleed Al-Nuwaiser comes to an end.

The new association will be led by Riyadh-based partners Zeyad Al-Salloum and Yazeed Al-Toaimi, previously senior lawyers at White & Case.

Energy specialist Al-Salloum advises on project finance transactions, across power, oil and gas, petrochemical and transportation industries while corporate partner Al-Toaimi advises on cross-border and domestic public and private projects and transactions with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, capital markets, competition, anti-trust, international trade and commercial disputes.

“It is business as usual for our clients while this new arrangement is being put in place,” said Doug Peel, White & Case’s Middle East head, in a statement. The new association is expected to be operational late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter, the statement added.
