This is a very significant economy in the region and our clients are increasingly focussed on opportunities there. We see Mohamed's move to Riyadh as being responsive to that demand and also a tangible demonstration that our relationship with Al-Jadaan & Partners Law Firm is going from strength to strength."
Mohammed Al Jadaan, Al Jadaan & Partners Law Firm's managing partner, commented: "We are excited about Mohamed's move to Riyadh. This will be instrumental in deepening the association between the Al Jadaan & Partners Law Firm and Clifford Chance and will allow both firms to collaborate more closely and to focus on the servicing of their clients in the Kingdom."
Mohamed Hamra-Krouha said: "Clifford Chance and the Al Jadaan & Partners Law Firm's have built a leading Saudi practice. The team in the Riyadh office has been very successful and is setting the pace of the legal market in Saudi Arabia. I am excited about the opportunity to enhance our presence in such a rapidly growing market and continue to provide a seamless service to our clients in the Kingdom."
Mohamed joined Clifford Chance in 2001 and was made a partner in 2008. He specialises in advising sponsors, financiers and governments on projects and project financings and has advised on projects in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other parts of the Middle East and Africa.
