New Delhi, Aug 5 (IANS) City-based corporate law firm Kochhar and Co. has partnered with law firms of Khalid Alnowaiser in Saudi Arabia and Mohammad Issa Odeh (MIO) in the United Arab Emirates.
‘Trade and business between India and the Middle East has grown exponentially and we have witnessed the consummation of enormous business transactions between the regions which are becoming ever more complex in nature,’ said Rohit Kumar, chairman, Kochhar and CO, Thursday.
Law firms of Khalid Al Nowaiser in Jeddah and Riyadh provide legal services to national and multinational corporations with business operations in Saudi Arabia and Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
While MIO lawyers and legal consultants offer legal opinions to corporate customers such as banks, engineering establishments, insurance companies and many international business groups.

‘Indian and foreign clients alike will now have access to top quality international standards of legal support through the consortium of Kochhar and Co. and its highly reputed partners being the Alnowaiser and the MIO firms,’ added Kumar.
