Having become the first Saudi female practising lawyer in 2013, Al Zahran followed up the achievement in 2014 by opening the country’s first ever all-female practice.

The company’s brief is to fight for the rights of local women and help courts understand legal disputes from a female perspective.

Al Zahran’s career started several years ago, working as a legal consultant before being allowed to become a fully licensed lawyer along with three other women, Jihan Qurban, Sarra Al Omarri and Ameera Quqani. She became the first female lawyer to defend a client when she appeared in the General Court in Jeddah.

Speaking to local media last year she said her law firm would “make a difference in the history of court cases and female disputes in the Kingdom”.
