McLeod ... new role.

New managing partner for Blakes Middle East

AL-KHOBAR, April 12, 2015

Dr Saud Al-Ammari Law Firm in association with Blake, Cassels & Graydon, a leading business law firm, has named Graham McLeod, a Blakes partner based in its Al-Khobar and Bahrain offices, as the new office managing partner of Blakes Middle East offices.  

McLeod’s practice focuses on corporate/commercial as well as infrastructure and procurement transactions with a particular emphasis on the development and implementation of large-scale industrial and public-private partnership (PPP) projects, areas of growth in the Middle East.

He has acted on a broad range of projects in sectors such as health care, transportation, petrochemicals, water and wastewater, solid waste disposal, and information technology systems.

McLeod has been recognized in Chambers Global: The World's Leading Lawyers for Business 2015 (PPP & Infrastructure/ Public Procurement). Through McLeod’s experience, Blakes will bring further expertise and know-how to clients, including government entities and private-sector organizations in the Middle East.

McLeod takes over the role from Scott Burrell, who became office managing partner in 2011. Mr. Burrell has relocated to the Blakes Vancouver office.

Dr Saud Al-Ammari, chair, Saudi Arabia & Middle East Region at Blakes said: “We wish to thank Scott for his significant contributions to our Middle East practice over the past several years, and are pleased to welcome Graham as new office managing partner for the region.”

“Having worked closely with clients in the Middle East over the past five years, Graham's experience in a range of projects, infrastructure and related corporate work will be of great advantage to our Gulf-based clients and the Blakes global network, and will help us to deliver the highest level of service to our clients in the Middle East and around the world,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
