London-Based Pinsent Masons Expands With New Riyadh Law Firm
The new office marks its fourth location in the Middle East and will focus on transactional legal services. Pinsent Masons has opened an office in Riyadh, marking its fourth location in the Middle East after Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. The new office, which began operations in the beginning of March, is led by Ibrahim Alajaji, a project finance and construction specialist who was previously a partner at Alsabhan & Alajaji. While Pinsent Masons and Alsabhan & Alajaji will now operate independently, the firms will continue their exclusive collaboration, first established in 2018. Alsabhan & Alajaji will focus on local court matters and legislative drafting under the leadership of Naif Alsabhan, while Pinsent Masons Saudi Arabia will focus on transactional legal services. The Riyadh office includes partners Rena Scott, who joined last year from Orrick to lead the firm's Saudi construction advisory and disputes practice, and Tim Armsby, who heads the firm's Middle East finance and projects division. Both Armsby and Alajaji have advised Saudi Arabia's National Centre for Privatisation, which oversees public-private partnerships and government entity privatisations. The new structure is anticipated to allow Pinsent Masons' to further serve clients in the Saudi market and offer opportunities for young Saudi lawyers to gain experience in high-value transactions and complex legal matters. The move follows Saudi Arabia's 2023 legal market reforms, which allow foreign firms to establish their own operations in the Kingdom. These changes have prompted several international law firms to enter or expand their presence in Saudi Arabia, including Clifford Chance, Latham & Watkins, and Addleshaw Goddard.

Green Roofs to Riyadh's Deepest Metro: Schaduf's Journey into Saudi
Inside the landscape firm's most complex project to date: a 36-metre-deep green wall at Qasr Al Hukm metro station. When Sherif Hosni, Co-Founder of Cairo-based landscape firm Schaduf, talks about Qasr Al Hukm, there's a noticeable pause before he calls it what it is: the flagship. 'It's the biggest project we've completed,' he tells SceneHome. Schaduf began with a shared passion for sustainability—specifically, green roofs—and grew from there. But over time, one thing became clear: Saudi was the biggest market. It wasn't easy. Establishing a business presence in the Kingdom came with its own set of hurdles. But a strategic partnership in 2018 helped unlock the opportunity, and by 2022, Schaduf had opened a formal office in Saudi Arabia—just in time to take on its largest challenge yet. Qasr Al Hukm is one of Riyadh's main metro stations, part of the city's broader infrastructure transformation. At its core is a green wall designed and executed entirely by Schaduf—spanning 36 metres underground. Unlike earlier projects where Schaduf might have handed over execution to a local partner, this time they did it all themselves—from design to installation. They now oversee maintenance and operations, too. Today, Qasr Al Hukm represents more than just a completed project. It's proof of capability. And it marks the beginning of Schaduf's regional expansion.

Saudi Cultural Fund Brings Saudi Handicrafts to London's Selfridges
A new activation hosted by Selfridges in London is providing an international platform for Saudi artisans to exhibit their crafts. Saudi craftsmanship is taking over London's luxury scene as the Saudi Cultural Development Fund (CDF) brings a curated collection of traditional handmade pieces to Selfridges from June 3rd to 22nd, 2025. This special showcase, part of Saudi Arabia's Year of Handicrafts, highlights artisanal works, from palm and leather crafts to jewellery and accessories, crafted by makers from across the Kingdom. Designed in collaboration with Turquoise Mountain, a global non-profit, the activation draws on Saudi Arabia's natural and architectural heritage, offering global shoppers a rare window into the cultural and economic value of the Kingdom's rich craft traditions. Running alongside is a Saudi fashion showcase also enabled by CDF. The exhibition aims to amplify the global presence of Saudi creative industries. Fashion brands supported by the Saudi Fashion Commission and the Saudi 100 Brands initiative are sharing the spotlight with major international labels, further cementing Saudi Arabia's rising influence in global design. This multifaceted initiative also builds on CDF's broader efforts - like the Nama' Accelerators: Handicrafts Track - to empower cultural entrepreneurs, drive sustainable creative businesses, and position heritage as a key pillar of Saudi Arabia's economic and cultural transformation.
