NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Greenberg Traurig Khalid Al-Thebity Law Firm continues to grow its Public Policy and Regulatory capabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the broader region with the addition of leading Public Policy and Regulatory Shareholder Abdullah Alzamil and Of Counsel Dr. Ammar Bin Maged in the firm's Riyadh office and supporting clients across the Middle East region.
As part of Greenberg Traurig's global Government Law & Policy and Regulatory & Compliance practices, Alzamil and Maged will work closely with Dr. Yazid Almasoud, who recently joined the firm in Riyadh, to advise clients on a diverse range of government law, public policy, and regulatory matters.
"Welcoming Abdullah and Dr. Ammar to our team in Saudi Arabia demonstrates Greenberg Traurig's commitment to strategic growth and delivering outstanding results for clients in the Middle East and globally," said Richard A. Rosenbaum, Greenberg Traurig's Executive Chairman. "Their expertise and global perspectives make them ideal additions as we expand our capabilities in support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and continue to build a team that reflects legal excellence, client focus, and our entrepreneurial spirit."
Alzamil is one of the most prominent names in the legislative, regulatory, and public policy markets in KSA, having spent over a decade at the forefront of regulatory transformation, complex infrastructure initiatives, and high-value transactions across KSA and beyond. As the only Saudi attorney to be licensed in Saudi Arabia, New York, and England and Wales, he brings a global perspective grounded in Shariah, common law, and civil law systems.
Alzamil has played a pivotal role in the development of regulatory and public policy frameworks and has been a key partner in enhancing the efficiency of KSA's legislative system and supporting institutional and regulatory reform efforts. His contributions have culminated in the formulation and development of substantive legislation and regulatory frameworks in support of KSA's Vision 2030. His experience also includes advising ministries and regulators on Public-Private Partnerships, corporate/M&A transactions, leading white-collar investigations, and litigating high-stakes commercial and infrastructure claims.
Maged is a distinguished Of Counsel focused on advising on legislative frameworks, regulatory development, and public policy design, with particular emphasis on emerging technologies such as blockchain and digital currencies. He advises government entities, regulators, and private sector organizations on the structuring and restructuring of complex legislative systems, the development of governance models, and the creation of compliance and risk-management frameworks. He has contributed to some of KSA's most significant institutional and regulatory reform initiatives.
Maged has led the drafting of laws, bylaws, and implementing regulations that address governance complexities, decision-making frameworks, and institutional mandates. His work spans from Islamic banking transactions to regulatory strategies tailored to align with both Shariah and modern legislative requirements. He regularly conducts current-state legal assessments, regulatory intersection reviews, and gap analyses, providing clients with comprehensive strategies for legislative improvement and institutional efficiency.
Khalid A. Al-Thebity, Greenberg Traurig's Middle East Regional Chair and Managing Shareholder of the KSA location, added, "Abdullah is highly regarded in the legislative, regulatory, and public policy consultancy industries in KSA and Dr. Maged brings a unique blend of academic scholarship and high-level government advisory expertise. Together with Dr. Yazid, our regional Public Policy and Regulatory capabilities are second-to-none. We offer a deep-rooted, client-centric team that brings unrivalled expertise from their experience advising government entities and supreme and ministerial committees; they are at the forefront of the legislative changes in KSA, drafting the regulations in a way that is consistent with international markets in support of KSA's Vision 2030."
Earlier in his career, Alzamil spent ten years at a KSA law firm, where he was most recently a partner.
Maged earned his Ph.D. from the Higher Institute of Judiciary at IMSIU, where his pioneering research explored Blockchain Technology and Digital Assets from both legal-technical and Islamic perspectives. He also holds a Master's degree from the same institution, focused on the legal dimensions of Satellite Television, Intellectual Properties and Communications Law, and has completed advanced programs in strategic planning, governance, performance measurement, and project management.
"We are proud to have joined Greenberg Traurig, a firm with a unique entrepreneurial mindset that collaborates across industries and markets to deliver a seamless offering to clients," Alzamil and Maged said in a combined statement. Alzamil added, "The firm's culture and the supportive nature of the Greenberg Traurig network was a driving factor in my decision to join. The investment in the region from Richard, Khalid, and many of my peers is impressive and I am excited to be working with such esteemed colleagues."
