Simmons & Simmons and its Saudi Arabian alliance firm Hammad & Al-Mehdar have expanded their offering in that country with the opening of a second office in the capital of Riyadh.

Simmons & Simmons is expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia, after Jeddah-based Hammad & Al-Mehdar, its partner in the kingdom for the past three years, said it is looking to launch in Riyadh by October.
