Three Decades of Trusted Legal Counsel, Built for a Connected Future

Who We Are
Three Decades of Trusted Legal Counsel, Built for a Connected Future
Adelons was founded on a simple principle: that legal counsel should combine deep regional roots with genuine international reach. Our practice draws on more than thirty years of experience across legal advisory, legislative development, governance, and cross-border transactions — built by advisors who have shaped policy at the highest levels of government, led complex international transactions, and represented Saudi Arabia and the region on the global stage. Today, that foundation supports clients across Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC, Europe, and China.

Leadership Shaped by Government, Industry, and Academia

Adelons was co-founded by senior legal advisors whose careers span private practice, government leadership, and international business. Dr. Hadi bin Ali Mohammed Alyami brings over three decades of legal advisory and legislative experience, having served two terms on the Saudi Shura Council and represented the Kingdom in international forums including the United Nations in Geneva.

Alongside him, partners with backgrounds spanning Dentons, Curtis Mallet-Prevost, and HNA bring transactional depth across corporate, M&A, and dispute resolution — supported by advisors with deep ties to financial law, taxation, and Saudi Vision 2030’s investment agenda.
