History
We have been active in the field of legal practice since the 1985 when the founder of the firm, Abdulaziz H. Al Fahad, began practicing law here in Saudi Arabia. Inspired from its inception to offer world-class legal services to the commercial sector, Abdulaziz H. Al Fahad & Partners has always been a leader in consistently maintaining quality standards while adapting to the evolving business marketplace. Over the many years of our existence we have remained committed to a two-fold policy of assisting our clients in remaining always compliant with legal requirements while at the same time protecting their interests without compromise.
Abdulaziz H. Al Fahad & Partners Company succeeded to the former unincorporated law practice of Abdulaziz H. Al Fahad at the beginning of 2015 in order to take to new heights the professional excellence achieved by the predecessor firm. The formation of Abdulaziz H. Al Fahad & Partners as a professional services partnership supports our vision of growing and developing our business in the 21st century by enabling us to invite our finest and most promising lawyers to join us as partners in the business. By being able to offer the prospect of partnership we have been able to attract and retain the very brightest and most able Saudi lawyers.
