Pillsbury AlArfaj

It was a pleasure attending the PIF Legal Forum yesterday with my partner Gavin Watson and reconnecting with so many colleagues and friends — including my dear friend and first-grade classmate, Abdullah AlGhamdi, aramco’s Associate General Counsel. A special thanks as well to my dear friend and fellow AlHasa native, Khalifa Aljabr, Senior Vice President, Head of RE Projects and Transactions II, and Acting Head of Funds and Capital Markets Legal Advisory at the Public Investment Fund (PIF). At Pillsbury AlArfaj, we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s economic growth — driven by many, including the PIF and its portfolio companies — and to support key initiatives under Vision 2030. Events like this remind us that while the legal profession is about expertise and innovation, it is equally about relationships, trust, and the people who walk the journey with us.

As we celebrate Pillsbury’s entry into the Saudi market and the launch of Pillsbury AlArfaj in Riyadh, I’ll be speaking with some of our most accomplished Pillsbury partners worldwide—each bringing deep expertise in their fields. In just a few minutes, they’ll share valuable insights from their sectors. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with my good friend and partner, Rob James. Rob recently authored an excellent paper on gigaprojects, which I shared earlier. We continued the conversation on this topic, and I enjoyed it—I hope you will too. This is just the beginning of many more conversations to come. Stay tuned—and enjoy!

In connection with our upcoming launch in Saudi Arabia as Pillsbury AlArfaj, we're excited to introduce a new video series highlighting our firm's capabilities in the Middle East. In our first conversation, Riyadh Managing Partner Khalid AlArfaj interviews Energy and Infrastructure partner Rob James about key considerations for complex, large-scale "gigaprojects." Their discussion covers best practices for addressing associated "gigarisks" and how stakeholders can apply fresh thinking to successfully structure contracts, timelines and compensation agreements for these $1B+ projects. 🎥Watch here: https://bit.ly/4nqZ7yy And click for more on: Pillsbury in the Middle East🔗 https://bit.ly/4pqsLFQ The Construction Gigaprojects Report 🔗 https://bit.ly/3VjoMNO #gigaprojects #Riyadh #MiddleEast #SaudiLaw
