Shearman & Sterling is eyeing an office launch in Saudi Arabia, as part of a strategic review of the firm's opportunities in the region beyond its established base in Abu Dhabi. The firm is also looking at potential office openings in Qatar and Dubai, as well as considering setting up an Egyptian base to support its growing arbitration practice in the country. It is thought a Saudi launch, likely to be in Riyadh, will take place relatively soon, with the firm, which would have to open in conjunction with a local firm, understood to have come close to opening in Saudi several years ago. Any additional openings in Qatar, Dubai and Egypt are expected to take place further down the line.
