An interactive discussion on the key considerations for entities doing business in Saudi Arabia will be held in Dubai later this month.

The event, organised by Clyde & Co, will be held at the Monarch Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road, on March 24.

With a $400 billion stimulus package announced early last year, Saudi Arabia represents significant opportunity for businesses looking to expand in the emerging markets of the region, said a statement.

The Saudi government has a long term policy to encourage a more diversified economy making the kingdom an attractive market for businesses across a range of sectors.

The seminar will answer a number the key questions including:
• The law of the land - how do I navigate the legal landscape?
• How can I operate in Saudi Arabia - what options are available for establishing operations in the kingdom?
• What other operational issues should I be considering - what are the employment laws?
• Avoiding mistakes - the Anti-Corruption legislation.
• Maximising growth options in Saudi Arabia - what should I be considering as part of my business plan if I am looking at potential M&A transactions, other financing options and the potential for IPO’s?

Abdulaziz Al-Bosaily, partner and head of Clyde & Co in Saudi Arabia, will be joined by other key members of the company's Saudi team to discuss the issues. -TradeArabia News Service
