Pinsent Masons relocates Riyadh office to KAFD

Pinsent Masons has relocated its Riyadh office to the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).

KAFD, a mixed-use district close to central Saudi institutions, has increasingly become the base for global and regional organizations across finance, technology, and legal services.

Strategic rationale

Catherine Workman (pictured left), head of Middle East at Pinsent Masons, noted that Saudi Arabia sits at the core of the firm’s regional strategy. The firm’s presence in KAFD reflects the scale of opportunity in the Kingdom, with Riyadh expected to continue covering a central role for the firm’s work across the region.

Ibrahim Alajaji (pictured right), managing partner of Pinsent Masons Saudi Arabia, described the move as a natural evolution of the firm’s presence in the Kingdom.
