The team will consult and advise global and regional brands who are setting up retail operations in the Middle East region for the first time, advising on key aspects such as location selection and contract negotiation.

The Retail advisory team will be spearheaded by Pedro Ribeiro, Partner, who will implement and lead the Retail consultancy services client offering in The Kingdom.
