Summary
Legal researcher | Legal Project Manager | International Commercial & Banking Law Specialist | Contract Negotiation & Regulatory Compliance | Member, Saudi Bar Association. I am a results-driven Legal Project Manager and Legal Specialist with strong expertise in international commercial law, banking law, financial regulation, and corporate legal compliance, supported by advanced academic credentials and hands-on experience within government authorities and multinational organizations.
I currently serve as a Legal Project Manager at the General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information (GEOSA), where I support high-impact national and international initiatives by reviewing and negotiating complex financial contracts, international agreements, and memoranda of understanding. I am actively involved in high-level negotiations with international bodies, including participation in the Host Country Agreement discussions with the United Nations for the Global Geospatial Ecosystem Center of Excellence in Riyadh.
My professional background includes providing legal support across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring regulatory compliance, mitigating legal risk, and supporting strategic decision-making. I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, senior leadership, HR departments, and external stakeholders to deliver legally sound and commercially aligned outcomes.
Previously, I worked as a Legal Specialist at AECOM, supporting international contracts, internal investigations, and regulatory monitoring, and as a Consultant at Edwards Lifesciences, where I advised on employment law, HR compliance, employee relations, and contractual documentation. These roles strengthened my ability to operate effectively within global corporate environments while maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards.
Academically, I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in International Commercial Law with International Banking Law and Financial Regulation from the University of Reading (UK), graduating with an Excellent grade, along with a Bachelor of Law from King Saud University. I also hold an Associate Diploma in People Management (CIPD Level 5), enabling me to bridge legal expertise with people and organizational management.
I am a Member of the Saudi Bar Association, fluent in Arabic and English, with working knowledge of French, and highly skilled in legal research platforms such as Westlaw, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg Law.
