Eversheds and Allen & Overy (A&O) have scooped lead roles advising on the establishment of a £75m women-only college in Saudi Arabia. 

The Jeddah college is being set up by a consortium of three UK further educational bodies led by North East Surrey College of Technology (NESCOT) after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia launched a SAR4bn (£689m) project to raise skills and build up to 11 learning institutions.
