King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) confirmed today (3 April) that it is closing its Riyadh office, one of two bases the firm has in the Middle East.
Legacy SJ Berwin opened its only Saudi base in 2014, following its merger with Sino-Australian giant KWM, through an association with a local law firm led by corporate lawyer Majed Almarshad. As well as Almarshad, the firm had one other partner in the office, Glenn Lovell.
