Strengthening Regional Presence
Adams will focus on real estate and hospitality projects across the Kingdom, working with the firm’s global Real Estate Practice. This practice is a cornerstone of the firm, with over 700 attorneys. Greenberg Traurig’s one-firm model allows clients to access talent across multiple regions, including the Middle East, United States, Latin America, Asia, and Europe.
With experience advising private equity investors, developers, and institutional landlords and tenants across various sectors, Adams brings expertise in complex real estate transactions. Her work includes investment-focused property acquisitions, forward-funded development acquisitions, and onshore and offshore financing.
Firm’s Investment in Regional Growth and Talent Development
The relocation of Ashia D. Adams to Riyadh reflects the firm’s ongoing investment in its regional platform and institutional capabilities. This move emphasizes the firm’s focus on industries critical to clients and its long-term presence in the Kingdom.
A Strategic Move
The relocation is a strategic decision, as stated by Greenberg Traurig executive chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum: “We invest in the people and markets we believe in. Ashia’s relocation further strengthens our ability to deliver the local insight, global resources, and practical judgment clients need as they pursue opportunities in the Kingdom and across the region.”
The Middle East regional chairman and Riyadh managing shareholder Khalid A. Al-Thebity, along with Riyadh deputy managing shareholder Marwa Al-Siyabi, welcomed Adams, stating: “Ashia is a highly regarded real estate lawyer whose experience, energy, and collaborative approach will be a tremendous asset.”
