How the Saudi legal system is organised
Saudi Arabia's legal system is based on Sharia, supplemented by laws issued by royal decree. Over the past decade much of business law has been codified — the Companies Law, the Civil Transactions Law, the Law of Evidence and the Commercial Courts Law among them — which has made outcomes more predictable for companies.
Disputes are heard by specialised courts: general, criminal, personal status, commercial and labour courts under the Ministry of Justice, and administrative courts under the Board of Grievances for cases involving government bodies. Proceedings are in Arabic and largely electronic.
What a business needs from a law firm
Most companies need three things from their lawyers: help structuring and documenting the business correctly, contracts that hold up when something goes wrong, and representation when a dispute cannot be settled. The firm provides all three from Jeddah for clients across the Kingdom.
Choosing a firm
Rankings and claims to be "the best law firm in Saudi Arabia" are not a reliable guide. Ask instead who will actually handle your matter, what experience they have with similar matters, whether they are licensed to appear in court, how fees are calculated, and how they will keep you informed. The guide on choosing a corporate lawyer linked below sets out these questions in more detail.

Consultation
You meet a lawyer in Jeddah or online. You get an initial view of your position and options.

Scope and fees in writing
If you instruct the firm, you receive the scope of work and fees in writing before work begins.
