Al Sulaim Al Awaji & Partners Law Firm in collaboration with Jones Day International, will hold a reception on Sunday on the occasion of the launching of their new offices in the three major cities of the Kingdom.

A number of prominent businessmen and lawyers have been invited to attend the function.

A high-level delegation of top lawyers from Jones Day International will arrive in the Kingdom for the event. Jones Day’s Partner and Director Stephen Brogan will head the delegation.

The alliance between the two firms represents a giant leap in the legal profession in Saudi Arabia taking it to international levels.

The alliance will provide a host of services including project financing, merger and acquisition operations, settlement of conflicts, institutional restructuring and intellectual property.

With the Kingdom, being the largest single economy in the Middle East, the cooperation with Jones Day, which is one of the top lawyer firms in the world, is considered an important step toward the provision of professional legal services that are in demand in the Kingdom.

The Saudi establishments can, therefore, benefit from the consummate legal services being extended by the Jones Day in the most important commercial cities in the world.

Jones Day is an international legal firm with more than 2,500 lawyers spreading over five continents including 400 in Europe and 200 in Asia.

With the opening of its office in Sao Paulo, Boston, and the extension of its services to Saudi Arabia, Jones Day will have 37 offices around the world. It is classified as one of the best legal firms in the whole world.

The commitment of Jones Day to client service has earned the firm first-place ratings. The firm has been the foreign counselor or legal representative to more than 500 top companies on the international Fortune list.

Jones Day topped BTI Consulting Group’s 2012 “Client Service A-Team” ranking, which identifies the top 30 law firms for client service through a national survey of corporate counsel.

And in the 2009 Corporate Board Member/FTI Consulting annual survey of almost 300 corporate board members asking which is the best law firm in America, Jones Day was ranked second.

In addition, Jones Day is organized as a true partnership, and it operates as such, not as an LLP or LLC or some other quasi-corporate entity. Jones Day is seen as a global legal institution based on a set of principles to which a large number of men and women can commit — principles that have a social purpose and permanence, that transcend individual interests.
