A Legacy of Legal Innovation in Saudi Arabia
our story
Founding & Visionary Leadership
In 1978, two visionary legal minds, Dr. Mujahid Al Sawwaf and David Wells, came together to establish one of the very first law firms in Saudi Arabia. They saw the need for a firm that could bridge local law with global legal standards, offering businesses the counsel they needed to navigate an evolving regulatory environment. From its earliest days, Al Sawwaf Law was not just a law firm, it was a gateway, opening Saudi Arabia to the world and providing international investors with the legal clarity they needed to thrive in the Kingdom.
Growth & Influence
With a foundation built on integrity, expertise, and forward-thinking legal strategy, Al Sawwaf Law quickly became the trusted partner for multinational corporations, regional enterprises, and government entities. The firm played a pivotal role in shaping Saudi Arabia’s commercial and legal infrastructure, advising on some of the most landmark corporate transactions and regulatory reforms in the country’s history. Whether navigating corporate governance, commercial disputes, arbitration, or foreign investment, Al Sawwaf Law has remained at the forefront, ensuring its clients operate with confidence and security in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Current Leadership & Future Vision
Today, that pioneering spirit continues under the leadership of Yasmeen Al Sawwaf, a Saudi Canadian and one of the first women in the Kingdom to obtain a law license over a decade ago. As the next generation of leadership takes the helm, Al Sawwaf Law remains committed to the same values that defined its inception – legal excellence, global perspective, and an unwavering dedication to its clients' success.
Continued Excellence
The firm that once broke barriers in 1978 is still shaping the future today. If you are seeking trusted legal counsel in Saudi Arabia, Al Sawwaf Law is ready to guide you. Contact us today to discuss how we can support your business and help you navigate the legal landscape with confidence.
