Financial and corporate

Saudi law firm Hammad & Al-Mehdar was founded in 1983 in Jeddah. The firm has grown significantly over the last four decades with four offices across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The firm boasts of having both regionally and internationally qualified lawyers with expertise in working on complex and high-value deals. The deal team is led by managing partner Adil Hammad and senior partner Mohammed Al-Mehdar. The firm has a commendable M&A practice.

 

Highlights

A recent example of the firm’s deal work includes advising, alongside a leading firm, Frontline on its asset acquisition. The firm guided the client through a suite of agreements by which it acquired 24 very large crude carrier tankers (vessels) and certain associated assets from Euronav.

The firm also advised BioNTech in the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of InstaDeep specifically assisting the clients to facilitate the clearance process and coordinating and negotiating with the relevant authority.

 

Key clients 

ADES Group, Bin Shihon, Branch DAA and Saudi Brothers Commercial Company.
