Norton Rose Fulbright handles complex disputes for large Saudi and international corporations in the logistics, financial and real estate sectors. In addition, the group has a solid track record in assisting Saudi entities with the enforcement of arbitral awards in multiple jurisdictions. In the firm’s Riyadh office Mohammed Altammami, who is the firm’s Head of Saudi Arabia, often represents state-owned companies in litigation, and Dubai-based Nick Sharratt focuses on financial and construction disputes; the duo co-head the practice. In October 2025 the department was bolstered by the relocation of Robin Springthorpe from the firm’s London office to Riyadh, bringing extensive experience in aviation disputes to the team.
