The Middle East is witnessing a significant rise in demand for disputes lawyers, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the international disputes market is still in its early stages but rapidly expanding. Driven by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, massive projects and legal reforms are creating a surge in demand for skilled disputes lawyers. With more international firms moving their headquarters to Saudi and setting up operations, a robust international framework is emerging.
This framework ensures global companies have clear routes to address contentious matters, a critical factor as the market matures. As international law firms are now permitted to operate their own legal licenses, they are increasingly handling disputes work in-house rather than outsourcing to local firms. This is a space to watch closely.
