Corporate & Transactions
Formation, governance and transactional counsel that accompany the institution through the decisions by which its future is determined.
Arbitration & Litigation
Representation before the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration and the commercial courts in disputes of consequence to the institution.
Restructuring & Insolvency
The instruments of the Saudi Bankruptcy Law in their entirety, invoked at the stage at which the enterprise remains capable of rescue.
Compliance & Investment
Compliance programmes, investment licensing and labour arrangements constituted to withstand a supervisory system of rising requirement.
Wealth & Family Business
Ownership, kinship and continuity held in order by structures that survive the second generation.
The Text
Each Saudi statute carries a context of its own: the Companies Law, the Civil Transactions Law, the Bankruptcy Law. The intent of the legislator resides beyond the letter of the provision.
The Reading
The Firm construes each provision against its judicial and enforcement context, against the commercial custom governing the trade, and against the rulings by which its application has been settled.
The Position
That construction is reduced to a position belonging to one institution alone: its exposures, its counterparties, its sector, and the risk its circumstances permit it to bear.
The Effect
The effect is evidenced in a contract that holds, a structure that survives succession, an award that is enforced, and in a dispute extinguished before it arose.
