Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-growing investment markets in the region. We provide full support for global companies entering the Saudi market—from MISA licensing and company formation to ongoing compliance and regulatory guidance.
We handle licence applications and amendments, activity confirmation and sector eligibility, documentation and attestation, and resolving licence queries or rejections.
We support choice of the optimal structure and full company setup: LLC, JSC, Branch; articles of association; capital and shareholder structuring; commercial registration; GOSI, ZATCA, and chamber of commerce registration.
We draft and negotiate joint venture and shareholder agreements, including governance, voting rights, and exit and dispute mechanisms.

We help with ZATCA tax compliance, labour and Saudization rules, and sector licences (SAMA, CMA, MODON, SFDA, etc.), plus regulatory audits and legal risk assessment.
We represent foreign investors in MISA-related disputes, commercial litigation, arbitration (SCCA, ICC, LCIA, DIAC, ad hoc), and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.

Rapid economic growth in Saudi Arabia requires reliable, strategic commercial legal support. We provide comprehensive legal services for Saudi and international companies—contracts, deals, compliance, and day-to-day operations.

Commercial disputes can seriously affect operations, finances, and business relationships. We represent companies in complex commercial disputes, shareholder conflicts, contract breaches, debt claims, and enforcement before Saudi commercial courts.
We represent companies in disputes involving breach of commercial contracts, non-delivery or delay of goods/services, payment failure, quality and performance issues, and misrepresentation or contractual violations. We analyse contract terms and build strong claims or defences.
We handle high-risk disputes between shareholders, partners, and investors—minority rights, oppression and mismanagement claims, deadlock, breach of shareholder agreements, and governance violations—helping resolve efficiently while protecting business continuity.
We pursue debt recovery, payment orders, enforcement against assets, and claims for damages and penalties—working quickly to secure judgments and enforce financial rights.
When disputes involve government decisions or regulators, we represent clients before the competent authorities and administrative courts—challenging administrative decisions, procurement and tender disputes, and regulatory challenges.
We assist in enforcing Saudi court judgments, international arbitral awards, and foreign court judgments (subject to Saudi enforcement rules), including asset identification and enforcement procedures.
Not every dispute needs to go to court. We help resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, and settlement agreements—and strategic planning to avoid disputes—so you can protect relationships and reduce cost.

Arbitration has become one of the most effective ways to resolve commercial disputes in Saudi Arabia. We represent clients in institutional and ad hoc arbitration, domestically and internationally—from drafting arbitration clauses to enforcement of awards.
We represent clients before leading regional and international institutions: Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA), ICC, LCIA, DIAC, and GCC Commercial Arbitration Centre—in Saudi Arabia and abroad.
For disputes where parties choose not to use an institution, we support all aspects of ad hoc arbitration: drafting and negotiating the arbitration framework, appointing arbitrators, managing procedure and timelines, and structuring memorials, evidence, and hearings.
Strong dispute-resolution clauses reduce future uncertainty and risk. We draft clauses that address seat of arbitration, applicable rules, choice of arbitrator, language of proceedings, governing law, and enforcement expectations—especially important in cross-border agreements.
We represent companies throughout the full arbitration cycle: notices of arbitration, statements of claim and defence, witness and expert evidence, oral hearings, settlement discussions, and post-hearing submissions—preparing each case for the strongest, most persuasive presentation.
We assist in enforcing SCCA awards, ICC/LCIA/DIAC awards, ad hoc UNCITRAL awards, and foreign arbitral awards. Saudi Arabia applies the New York Convention, making enforcement faster and more predictable when handled correctly.
In limited circumstances, awards can be challenged. We assist with applications relating to setting aside awards, procedural violations, judicial objections, and challenges to recognition and enforcement—providing precise legal analysis on the feasibility of challenging an award.
Industries we serve in arbitration:
Oil, gas & petrochemicals • Construction & engineering (EPC) • Logistics & transport • Manufacturing • Technology & software • Financial & commercial services • Cross-border trade & investment
Companies in Saudi Arabia frequently deal with government bodies, regulators, and public entities. We advise on all aspects of Saudi administrative law—challenging government decisions, regulatory compliance, and representation before administrative courts (Board of Grievances).
We represent clients in disputes involving refusal of licences or permits, administrative penalties, suspension or cancellation of commercial registration, refusal of government approvals, exclusion from procurement, and violations reported by ministries or authorities. We prepare and submit objections, complaints, and appeals to the competent bodies and administrative courts.
The regulatory environment is evolving rapidly. We help clients understand and comply with regulations from MISA, the Ministry of Commerce, ZATCA, the Ministry of Human Resources (Saudization), and sector-specific regulators—reducing the risk of penalties, delay, or licensing issues.
For companies dealing with government entities, procurement rules must be followed carefully. We assist with participation in government tenders, preparation of bids and document compliance, challenges to award decisions, representation in procurement disputes, governing law, and compliance with the government tenders and procurement law.
We provide full legal representation in administrative cases, compensation claims, contractual disputes involving government entities, tax and customs appeals, and labour disputes involving public-sector bodies. Our litigation team prepares strategic files, evidence, and arguments tailored to administrative court procedure.
We assist with delay or refusal of commercial licences, regulatory investigations, correspondence with ministries and agencies, requests for reconsideration, and meeting procedural requirements for approvals. Proper communication with regulators can prevent disputes before they arise.
Industries we serve:
Oil, gas & energy • Construction & engineering • Logistics & transport • Healthcare & pharma • Manufacturing • Technology & telecoms • Professional services • Retail & general trade
Forming and managing a company in Saudi Arabia requires navigating detailed legal requirements under the Saudi Companies Law, regulatory obligations, and ongoing compliance. We advise local and international companies at every stage—from formation to restructuring and governance.
We guide clients through the full process of establishing a business in Saudi Arabia: preparing and documenting the company’s articles of association, registration with the Ministry of Commerce, MISA foreign investment licence (if applicable), commercial registration (CR), GOSI and ZATCA registration, labour registration, and drafting capital structures and partner arrangements. We ensure your entity is legally sound and compliant from day one.
Strong governance is essential for stable, compliant companies ready for investors. We assist with board structure and responsibilities, corporate decisions, shareholder meetings and minutes, directors’ duties and legal obligations, voting rights and authority frameworks, and compliance with Saudi corporate governance regulations.
We prepare legally enforceable agreements that define the rights, responsibilities, and protections of all partners: shareholder agreements, joint venture agreements, documentation of capital increase or decrease, profit distribution structures, voting arrangements and exit mechanisms. These agreements are essential to prevent disputes and maintain clear roles.
For companies undergoing expansion or strategic change, we support restructuring and reorganisation, mergers and acquisitions (buy-side or sell-side), due diligence reviews, asset and share purchase agreements, and post-merger legal support. We ensure transactions comply with Saudi law and protect our clients’ commercial interests.
All companies in Saudi Arabia must meet ongoing legal obligations. We assist with updating company documents and licences, annual filings and compliance reports, amendment of articles of association, partner changes and share transfers, liquidation procedures, and drafting contracts for operational needs. Ongoing legal oversight reduces the risk of penalties, disputes, or operational disruption.
Foreign companies entering Saudi Arabia face additional legal and regulatory standards. We help foreign investors choose the best structure (LLC, Branch, JSC), meet MISA licensing requirements, draft cross-border governance documents, navigate ownership restrictions, and ensure compliance with investment regulations. We act as a strategic partner for companies establishing or expanding their presence in the Kingdom.
