We cover 14 legal specialties in Jeddah, from corporate and commercial matters for investors and business owners, to family and personal status cases, alongside criminal, real estate, labor, IP, and finance law. Choose the specialty closest to your need below.
Jeddah isn't a city with a single economic sector; it's a major commercial port on the Red Sea, a primary gateway for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, a fast-growing real estate and industrial hub, and home to a growing number of family businesses and foreign investors. That diversity means a single client's file often genuinely needs more than one specialty at once: a factory owner facing a labor dispute may also need environmental compliance advice, and a foreign investor forming a company may later need intellectual property services to protect their trademark. Choosing one firm that covers this full range saves you the coordination overhead of managing several separate offices for one matter.
Our corporate and commercial practice covers every stage of a business's life: company formation and choosing the right legal structure, foreign investment licensing with the Ministry of Investment (MISA) for international investors, corporate governance and M&A, through to shareholder disputes and bankruptcy or restructuring when a business runs into trouble. And when any commercial or personal dispute reaches the point of needing judicial intervention, our disputes and litigation practice covers the full track: litigation before the general courts, commercial arbitration as a faster, more private route thanks to Saudi Arabia's accession to the 1958 New York Convention, then enforcing judgments before the Enforcement Court, through to cross-border international disputes.
Financial matters under our finance, banking and tax practice range from banking and finance law under the Saudi Central Bank's (SAMA) oversight, to collecting distressed commercial debt, zakat and tax before the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), and Islamic finance and takaful. In a fast-growing real estate market, our real estate and construction practice covers verifying title deed soundness, off-plan sale (Wafi) disputes, construction contracts, and the rental disputes common between landlords and tenants. Our labor and employment practice covers the latest Saudi Labor Law amendments (August 2025), the "Nitaqat Developer" localization program, end-of-service benefits, and domestic worker rights.
Criminal matters under our criminal and penal practice need fast action from the first moment, from general criminal defense before investigation and trial, to drug cases, cybercrime, and online extortion. Under family and personal status, we handle divorce, khula, custody, and maintenance cases with the human sensitivity they need, working within the relatively recent Personal Status Law and the mandatory Family Reconciliation Center step before any case. Our private client practice covers determining heirs and dividing an estate per Sharia shares, planning family business succession across generations, and wills and waqf endowments.
Our intellectual property practice covers trademark registration with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property, patents, copyright, and anti-counterfeiting. Under sector-specific law, we cover sectors operating under special regulations, such as healthcare and medical law, personal data protection (PDPL), and energy, oil and gas. Our torts and compensation practice covers traffic accidents, bodily injury, and diyah and arsh per accredited Sharia tables. Finally, our public and regulatory and advisory and documentation practices cover the relationship with government bodies and public contracts on one hand, and proactive consultation, contract drafting, and notarization on the other, alongside consumer protection and e-commerce as digital shopping grows across the Kingdom.
If you're not sure exactly which specialty you need, don't worry: most of our inquiries arrive without a clear prior classification. Browse the cards below to go straight to the specialty closest to your situation, or send us a brief description of your situation on WhatsApp and we'll direct you to the right specialty and lawyer within minutes.
We believe clarity from the first moment is the foundation of any good professional relationship. Most files start with a fast initial consultation over WhatsApp, where you briefly explain your situation and we respond with an initial assessment, usually within minutes rather than days, along with a clear indication of whether your case needs full court representation, just advice and document review, or something in between. We don't drag out the response unnecessarily, and we don't ask for a major financial commitment before you first understand what your situation actually requires.
Once the right track is identified, your file is handled by a lawyer licensed by the Ministry of Justice with direct experience in the relevant specialty, not a generalist handling everything without genuine depth. We follow up every file continuously over WhatsApp, including periodic updates on case developments without needing you to chase us or make repeated office visits: particularly useful for clients outside Jeddah or outside Saudi Arabia who work with us entirely remotely.
