Allen & Overy has entered into an association in Saudi Arabia with Zeyad S. Khoshaim Law Firm.

Khoshaim joined Allen & Overy as a partner in August 2010. His office includes a team of veteran Saudi and internationally qualified lawyers, some seconded from Allen & Overy, that advises on practice areas including debt and equity capital markets, local and cross border M&A, corporate, projects, banking, and Islamic finance transactions.

Following the tie-up, Allen & Overy will also second banking partner Julian Johansen and corporate partner Johannes Bruski to the office.

"I look forward to continuing my relationship with A&O, and leveraging its broad international network to advise our clients on some of the most complex transactions undertaken in the market,” said Khoshaim in a statement. “I also very much appreciate A&O's continued commitment to knowledge transfer and training opportunities for our lawyers."

Allen & Overy was previously in an association with Abdulaziz AlGasim Law Firm.
