Riyadh Chamber to host legal forum on mergers and acquisitions

The Riyadh Chamber will organize the Legal Aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions Forum for companies and investment opportunities on Monday, August 31, 2026. The event will see participation from the Ministry of Commerce, the General Authority for Competition, the General Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises, and Al Sharq Al Arabi Colleges. The forum is part of the Chamber's efforts to enhance the mergers and acquisitions environment and enable companies to benefit from investment opportunities, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 goals to develop the private sector and improve market efficiency.

The forum aims to support the mergers and acquisitions landscape by linking regulatory and legal aspects with investment opportunities, and by presenting practical pathways to help companies prepare for mergers and acquisitions deals with greater efficiency and clarity.

The event will feature four main sessions: the first will review the strategic and regulatory vision for mergers and acquisitions in the Kingdom; the second will discuss mergers and acquisitions as a tool for growth and maximizing investment value; the third will address the regulatory and supervisory framework for mergers and acquisitions in Saudi Arabia; and the fourth will focus on the role of regulatory bodies in enabling the mergers and acquisitions market.

The forum will also cover support for investment deals and discuss mergers and acquisitions as a strategic tool for the growth and sustainability of small and medium enterprises.

The forum targets business leaders, investors, legal professionals including lawyers, consultants, compliance officers, board members, and governance teams, as well as small and medium enterprises. It aims to serve as a platform bringing together regulators, enablers, investors, and practitioners under one roof to support company growth, raise legal awareness, and reduce risks associated with mergers and acquisitions deals.
