Your legal partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The firm devotes particular attention to matters of a contractual and project-based nature, most notably contracting and construction projects, real estate development, investment projects, and joint ventures and commercial alliances, alongside its experience in construction, real estate and commercial disputes, companies and investments, estates, awqaf (endowments), labour and arbitration, among others.
The firm's practice is not confined to addressing disputes after they arise; it extends to legal prevention, risk management, drafting and reviewing contracts, and supporting projects through their various stages, with the aim of protecting the client's interests and limiting the likelihood of disputes and their consequences.
The firm's methodology rests on four core principles.
Understanding the nature of the client's activity, the project, the contractual relationship and the commercial objective before giving an opinion or taking any legal step.
Identifying legal and contractual risks at an early stage and working to reduce them before they turn into a dispute.
Providing practical legal solutions that take account of the client's interests and commercial objectives, not limited to the regulatory aspect of the matter.
Protecting the client's rights through proper documentation, precise drafting, management of claims and correspondence, and continuous legal follow-up.
The firm provides integrated legal services for building, construction and real estate development projects, beginning with the study of the project's legal structure and the relationships between its parties, through the preparation and review of contracts, and ending with handling the legal matters arising during execution, handover and thereafter.
The firm provides an integrated set of legal and advisory services, beginning at the stage of studying the project and contracting, extending to execution and the management of risks and claims, and reaching the settlement of disputes or their pursuit before the courts or arbitral tribunals.

The firm and its team have provided numerous advisory services to companies, institutions and individuals across varied activities and fields. These services have included studying legal positions, giving opinions and advice, drafting and reviewing contracts and agreements, analysing legal risks, examining contractual obligations, and providing legal solutions to the matters clients face in their businesses and projects.
In providing advice, the firm relies on studying the legal question in its practical context, so that the opinion is not confined to stating the regulatory position but includes — where required — an assessment of the available options, the risks attaching to each option, and a recommendation of the course most suited to the client's interest.
The firm is also careful to ensure that its advice is capable of practical application and takes account of the nature of the client's activity, its commercial objectives, and the legal and practical consequences of each option.
