Career & Experience
Eyad is a bilingual Legal Counsel with over eight years of international legal experience across Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Europe. His practice covers corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, and cross-border transactions — with a particular focus on the GCC, where his understanding of the regulatory environment, commercial customs, and legal framework is detailed and up to date.
He currently serves as Legal Counsel at Ossus Alfasl Law Firm in Saudi Arabia, where he advises corporations, startups, and investors on high-value commercial contracts and corporate transactions, and as Synergy Strategist at Escrow Livery in Finland — a combination that reflects both his cross-jurisdictional expertise and his understanding of technology-enabled legal and financial services.
Eyad's bilingual capability in Arabic and English is not merely linguistic — it reflects a deep understanding of both common law and Gulf legal traditions, enabling him to bridge jurisdictional complexity that creates difficulty for lawyers operating in only one system. His Arabic-language contract drafting and legal translation work is particularly valued in transactions where precise meaning across languages is legally material.
At Masader Capital, Eyad strengthens the firm's GCC legal capabilities, supports the growing Saudi Arabia mandate pipeline, and provides the bilingual drafting and legal translation expertise that complex multi-jurisdictional transactions increasingly demand.
