- ‘What sets Amgad and Anas apart is their ability to navigate both the complexities of the Saudi legal system and the expectations of sophisticated international counterparts. For us as a client, that dual strength is invaluable. They know how Saudi courts and arbitration bodies really work, and at the same time, they can stand toe-to-toe with leading international firms and arbitration counsel, speaking the same language and anticipating their tactics. Compared to other firms we have worked with, Amgad and Anas provide something unique: a seamless bridge between Saudi dispute resolution and international best practice.'
- ‘What makes this team exceptional is not just their technical expertise but the way they operate as a seamless, trusted partner to our business. Amgad Husein has a unique ability to bridge the Saudi legal system with international dispute resolution. He combines deep local credibility with an international perspective, and his advice is always pragmatic and commercially aligned. Anas Akel brings a sharp understanding of the commercial realities in Jeddah and across the Kingdom. He is pragmatic, persuasive, and always anticipates counterparties’ moves — keeping us a step ahead in negotiations and disputes. Together, Amgad and Anas form a true tag team: one close to regulators and ministries in Riyadh, the other deeply connected to Saudi’s industrial and commercial heart.'
