White & Case LLP continues to act in some of the Middle East’s most complex and high-value energy and infrastructure mandates, with a particularly deep presence in Saudi Arabia, where it advises NEOM, Saudi Aramco, and the Public Investment Fund on flagship greenfield developments spanning energy transition and social infrastructure. Adam Pierson serves as a key adviser to Saudi Aramco, while Antoine Cousin brings notable expertise in projects and PPP structures across major regional portfolios. Yasser Riad is highly regarded for his long-running work with EWEC on both new and existing assets.
