Mohammed Alhashem, Founding Partner

What do you see as the main points that differentiate Mohammed Alhashem Law Firm from your competitors? In a rapidly changing legal world, our firm is committed to providing dynamic and innovative legal services that adapt to our clients’ evolving needs, by adopting a strategic approach based on technology, clear procedures, and advanced legal project management—ensuring the highest levels of efficiency, responsiveness, and transparency.   Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that? Compliance and regulatory affairs, data protection and privacy, and corporate governance are expected to experience rapid growth, driven by changes in local and international legislation, increased awareness of the importance of legal compliance, and the rapid digital transformation and its impact on businesses. Moreover, arbitration and dispute resolution practices are gaining prominence as companies increasingly prefer faster, more efficient, and flexible alternatives to traditional litigation. Our team holds a variety of certifications and accreditations that position us to keep pace with the growth of these practices—whether as certified arbitrators, compliance officers, or other licensed professionals—enabling our team to thrive and support sustainable development.   What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients? One of the most significant transformations we have adopted is the implementation of legal project management. Each case is approached with a clear methodology based on precise planning, task delegation, continuous follow-up, and full client involvement in every step and outcome through various channels: a dedicated website connecting them with their legal team, email communication, and more. This approach reduces costs, enhances efficiency, and provides clients with clearer visibility into the stages of their legal matters, along with the reassurance of continuity in their legal affairs.   Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them? Our legal technology relies on advanced systems that enable us to provide instant reports, manage cases remotely, schedule meetings, and securely share legal documents online. This reduces response time, enhances a smoother client experience, and delivers a high level of transparency and efficiency.   Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business? We believe that our role goes beyond providing traditional legal advice. That’s why we work with our clients as strategic partners to deliver integrated legal services that enhance compliance and improve both legal and operational performance. For example, our team managed the legal affairs of a major company by being physically present at its headquarters and various branches, allowing us to gain a deep understanding of its daily legal challenges. Through this, we activated compliance management, analyzed internal regulations, developed effective legal policies, and provided a large number of direct legal consultations. As a result, the company was able to make informed strategic decisions, reduce legal violations by more than 85%, and avoid potential regulatory penalties. We also supported the company in restructuring its legal operations and simplifying its contracts to ensure alignment with the latest regulations—enhancing its ability to expand confidently, attract new investments, and strengthen its relationship with regulatory bodies. This integrated approach—combining on-site presence, in-depth legal analysis, and strategic consultation—ensures our clients a stable and flexible legal environment that supports the growth and sustainability of their business.   Are clients looking for stability and strategic direction from their law firms - where do you see the firm in three years’ time? Yes, today’s clients are looking for a strategic legal partner rather than just a service provider. They need prompt and continuous legal advice that keeps pace with market developments, safeguards their long-term interests, and supports the success of their deals. Over the next three years, we aspire to become the leading destination for integrated legal solutions by advancing digital transformation, expanding our advisory services, and elevating our standards of efficiency and responsiveness to meet clients’ evolving needs.

What are the drivers behind that? In the next 12 months, several practices are expected to see significant growth, particularly in areas like personal data protection, digital transformation, and compliance. The increasing reliance on digital tools and platforms across industries is driving the demand for robust data protection measures, as businesses seek to safeguard sensitive information and maintain customer trust. Additionally, the ongoing shift toward digital transformation is pushing companies to innovate and optimize their operations, creating opportunities for legal services related to technology contracts, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. The growth in personal data protection is fueled by the heightened awareness of privacy concerns and the introduction of stricter regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Companies are increasingly seeking legal expertise to navigate these complex regulations, ensuring they remain compliant while leveraging data-driven insights for business growth. Moreover, the emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices is becoming more pronounced, with companies prioritizing sustainable practices and ethical governance. This trend is driving demand for legal services in corporate governance, risk management, and compliance, as businesses strive to align with evolving standards and stakeholder expectations. Overall, the convergence of digital transformation, regulatory changes, and heightened focus on sustainability are the key drivers behind the growth of these practices. Law firms that can offer specialized expertise in these areas will be well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of their clients and capitalize on emerging opportunities.   What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients?

Our firm provided comprehensive legal support throughout the expansion process, starting with meticulous due diligence and risk assessment. We crafted robust cross-border contracts and negotiated with international partners to ensure compliance with local regulations and protection of the client’s interests. One key aspect was the development of a tailored compliance framework that addressed the specific legal requirements of the new markets. This included navigating complex regulatory environments and securing necessary permits and licenses. By implementing this framework, we mitigated potential legal risks and streamlined the client’s entry into the new markets. Furthermore, we utilized advanced CRM tools to maintain ongoing communication and provide real-time updates, which facilitated swift decision-making and responsive support.
