Abuhimed Alsheikh Alhagbani Law Firm (AS&H) in co-operation with Clifford Chance, is pleased to announce that Khalid Al-Abdulkareem has joined the AS&H partnership as Senior Partner, with effect from 1 January 2019.

Al-Abdulkareem is one of the most prominent, highly respected and experienced legal practitioners in Saudi Arabia.

He has advised on and drafted various Saudi Arabian laws and regulations.

He spent the first nine years of his career as a faculty member at the Institute of Public Administration in Riyadh followed by eight years as a legal advisor to the Royal Court (including three years as a legal advisor to the Court of the Crown Prince). He then joined private practice with Al-Jadaan & Partners Law Firm in early 2003, becoming a partner in 2008, before joining Clifford Chance as a partner in 2013. He then played a key role in the successful transition of the practices of Clifford Chance Law Firm to AS&H in November 2016.

Following the launch of AS&H, Al-Abdulkareem remained a Clifford Chance partner, a member of the AS&H leadership team and besides his contribution in advising on several landmark deals, he also played a significant role in the growth of the firm, that will shortly reach 42 lawyers.
