A couple of points about Trowers. There was no Arab Spring in the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia so that excuse for poor performance doesn't fly. The Saudi retreat has nothing to do with losing the last associate. The rumour was that the Exco of Trowers met in March 2011 and voted to close the Saudi office. Two of the 3 lawyers on the ground were made "redundant" on the spot and one was left hanging. The local partner was given notice a month or two later terminating the relationship. It was an intentional move to leave Saudi Arabia and if there is any integrity in the management of that firm they should confirm it.
