DLA Piper has opened a second office in Saudi Arabia, located in Jeddah. The firm, which has had an office in Riyadh since 2006, plans to further expand by adding a third outpost in the Eastern Province by year’s end.

With an office in each of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia—Jeddah and the Eastern Province will bring DLA Piper’s Middle East presence to eight offices, according to the firm.
