About

Before Khalid Alaseeri assumed the general counsel position at the Arabian dairy manufacturing company Almarai, the company’s legal team had a hierarchal structure of organisation with layers below the general counsel. Since mid-2017 the team has flattened its structure, introducing an organisational model whereby lawyers report to the general counsel directly, with sub practice teams that are led by the different lawyers, and junior lawyers serving as backups. The team also recently added three additional legal professionals to its ranks and took charge of investor relations for some time whilst also successfully running two general assemblies which were of crucial importance for the company. At present the team is actively involved in implementing a contract lifecycle management system, and is in the process of developing a portal hotline with Navex, which should be up and running by September 2018. In parallel, the department continually supporting the company on many concurrent potential transactions that would continue its growth. Besides Khalid Alaseeri, who is not only known as an exceptional legal professional but also stands out with his organisational skills, Almarai’s legal team employs a number of great professionals, such as Mansour Al-Wetaid, Ahamed Al-Tamimi and Yafa Al-Mutawwa.
