Legal &
Governance

Solidify your market foundation with robust legal frameworks. We draft bilingual contracts and ensure your corporate governance aligns with the new Saudi Companies Law.

Saudi Arabia’s legal landscape has undergone a massive transformation with the introduction of the new Companies Law, Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), and Civil Transactions Law.

Navigating these new regulations requires more than just translation; it requires strategic legal adaptation. Our team of bilingual legal advisors ensures your contracts are enforceable, your IP is protected, and your corporate structure is optimized for the local market.
