Corporate work for Jeddah businesses
Jeddah has long been the Kingdom's main trading city — home to its largest Red Sea port and to many established family-owned groups. The legal needs that come with that are specific: family governance and succession, import, distribution and agency arrangements, and shipping and logistics contracts that allocate risk between buyers, sellers and carriers.
Family businesses and governance
Many Jeddah businesses are owned by families across two or three generations. The Companies Law now lets owners adopt a family charter covering ownership transfers, succession, the employment of family members and dividend policy. Drafted together with the articles of association and a shareholder agreement, it can prevent the disputes that most often break up family companies.
Trade and maritime contracts
For companies that import or export through Jeddah, the firm drafts and reviews sale, supply, agency and logistics contracts, with attention to delivery terms, risk of loss, insurance and dispute resolution. Its consultant in commercial and maritime law brings specialist knowledge of carriage and logistics.
