Kirkland Named Saudi Arabia Capital Markets Firm of the Year at Chambers Middle East Awards

Chambers & Partners named Kirkland “Saudi Arabia Capital Markets Law Firm of the Year” at the 2026 Chambers Middle East Awards for the team’s outstanding work, strategic growth and expansion, and exceptional client service.

The awards are based on research conducted for the 2026 Chambers Global guide and reflect notable achievements from the past year. Kirkland’s Saudi Capital Markets group was noted by clients for “its high quality of work, depth of commitment and resources, and the experience of its team” and for proving the ability “to think outside the box and deliver innovative solutions that assist in the closing of landmark transactions (that) have no existing frameworks.”

Kirkland entered the Saudi Arabian legal market in late 2023 with a clear strategic ambition: to establish the Firm as the preeminent international legal advisor in the Kingdom and MENA region. Since that time, our Riyadh office has built a dynamic and respected presence, leading transformative capital markets transactions, recruiting top-tier local and international talent, and embedding our practice in the Kingdom’s evolving regulatory and investment landscape.
