Our Legal Services

Nine comprehensive services under one roof

Real Estate Conveyance (Ifragh)

Electronic transfer and notarisation of property ownership by a Ministry of Justice licensed notary, with rigorous checks that protect both buyer and seller.

Full details

Real estate conveyance (ifragh) is the formal legal procedure for transferring property ownership from seller to buyer and recording it with the Ministry of Justice. As a licensed notary under Ministry of Justice licence No. 43479, Khaled Fahad Alawathem completes conveyances directly — no visit to a notary public office required — with full legal verification before the transaction closes.

The real value lies in the due diligence performed beforehand: verifying the title deed and its validity, confirming the property is free of mortgages, seizures and disposal restrictions, matching the parties' details, and then executing and notarising the transfer electronically — often in a single session.

You need this service when buying or selling residential or commercial property, or whenever you want to close a property transaction with complete legal certainty, avoiding future disputes over ownership or undisclosed encumbrances on the property.

How it works

  1. Receive the conveyance request and verify the parties' identities and legal capacity (in person or under a valid power of attorney).
  2. Examine the title deed electronically and confirm the property is free of mortgages, seizures and disposal restrictions.
  3. Verify payment of the purchase price and structure the payment mechanism to protect both parties.
  4. Execute and notarise the transfer electronically through Ministry of Justice platforms as a licensed notary.
  5. Deliver the new electronic title deed to the buyer and confirm the ownership transfer in the official records.

Litigation and Court Representation

Full legal representation before Saudi courts at every level and before adjudication committees — from building the case and drafting pleadings through to judgment.

Full details

Litigation is both a discipline and a craft: a soundly constructed case and precisely drafted pleadings make the difference in court. The firm represents clients before the commercial, labour, administrative, criminal, personal status and enforcement courts, backed by specialised training in case construction, legal drafting and jurisdictional rules.

We begin with a candid assessment of your legal position before taking any step — we will never push you into litigation that serves no purpose — and we keep you informed of every development in your case with complete transparency, managing hearings, pleadings, interlocutory applications and appeals from start to finish.

You need this service when filing a claim or defending one brought against you, whether you are an individual or a business, and at any stage of proceedings — including challenging a judgment on appeal.

How it works

  1. Study the case and documents and give the client a frank assessment of their legal position before proceeding.
  2. Register the power of attorney electronically through the Ministry of Justice's Najiz platform.
  3. Build and draft the statement of claim or defence and file it via Najiz before the competent court.
  4. Attend hearings, submit pleadings and evidence, and manage the case through to judgment.
  5. Review the judgment and file any objection or appeal within the statutory deadlines where needed.

Contract Drafting and Review

Robust contracts drafted from scratch, and thorough review of contracts before you sign — clear terms that protect your interests and close off disputes in advance.

Full details

A well-drafted contract is the cheapest way to avoid litigation. The firm drafts commercial, real estate, employment, services, construction and partnership contracts, and reviews contracts presented to you before signature — with precise legal drafting that reflects the parties' agreement and complies with current Saudi law.

We craft the critical clauses with care: obligations and consideration, termination and compensation mechanisms, penalty clauses, dispute resolution and jurisdiction — so you enter into your contractual commitments knowing exactly where their limits lie.

You need this service before signing any significant contract, when amending an existing one, or when you want to standardise your company's contract templates on a sound legal footing.

How it works

  1. An initial session to understand the nature of the deal, your objectives and each party's obligations.
  2. Prepare the draft contract, or review the contract presented to you and identify its risk points.
  3. Draft the critical clauses: obligations, terms, termination, penalty provisions and dispute resolution.
  4. Review the draft with you and refine it through revisions to the final version.
  5. Oversee signature, and notarise or attest the contract where required as a licensed notary.

Enforcement Proceedings

Turning your judgments and enforceable instruments into recovered rights through the enforcement courts and the Najiz platform, with close follow-up until full recovery.

Full details

A judgment that is never enforced is ink on paper. The firm files and pursues enforcement applications before the enforcement courts to recover your rights under court judgments, commercial paper (cheques, promissory notes and bills of exchange), notarised contracts and arbitral awards — under the Enforcement Law and its new implementing regulations, on which the firm has received specialised training.

We follow the application stage by stage: from filing on the Najiz platform, to issuance of the enforcement order, to precautionary measures against the judgment debtor, and handling any enforcement disputes that are raised — until the debt is recovered or settled.

You need this service if a judgment in your favour remains unenforced, if you hold an unpaid cheque or promissory note that has fallen due, or if a tenant has defaulted on a notarised lease agreement.

How it works

  1. Examine the enforceable instrument and confirm it meets the statutory requirements for enforcement.
  2. File the enforcement application electronically via Najiz, attaching the instrument and supporting documents.
  3. Follow up on issuance of the enforcement order and service on the judgment debtor within the statutory period.
  4. Request the statutory measures available on non-compliance: travel bans and seizure of assets and bank accounts.
  5. Monitor recovery or settlement and respond to any enforcement disputes until the application is closed with the right fully recovered.

Real Estate Title Registration

Registering your property in the new in-rem title register, with full management of the process and any objections to secure conclusive proof of your ownership.

Full details

In-rem title registration is Saudi Arabia's new real estate register, giving ownership conclusive legal force tied to the property itself and its precise survey data, in place of traditional title deeds. As registration zones are announced progressively, registering your property within the prescribed deadlines has become essential to protecting your ownership.

The firm manages the entire process: confirming whether your property falls within an announced registration zone, preparing the ownership documents, filing and tracking the application, and handling any objections or competing ownership claims that surface during the registration phase.

You need this service if your property lies within a zone announced for in-rem registration, if you hold old title deeds that need updating and validation, or if you want to shield your ownership against future disputes.

How it works

  1. Confirm whether the property falls within the announced in-rem registration zones and their deadlines.
  2. Gather and verify the ownership documents: title deeds, land survey and owner details.
  3. File the registration application through the approved electronic platforms of the real estate register.
  4. Track the application, address any queries and respond to objections within the statutory periods.
  5. Receive the in-rem title record and verify that its details match the property on the ground.

Corporate Governance

Building governance frameworks aligned with the new Saudi Companies Law: internal regulations, authority structures, and clear rules between shareholders and management.

Full details

Sound governance protects a company from within before the courts ever need to protect it from outside. The firm provides corporate governance services under the new Saudi Companies Law and its regulations — from preparing internal bylaws and structuring the powers of general assemblies, boards and managers, to drafting shareholders' agreements and conflict-of-interest policies.

Drawing on specialised training in company law and anti-money laundering compliance, we help your business meet its regulatory obligations and document its resolutions and minutes in a form that withstands regulatory scrutiny and any dispute between shareholders.

You need this service as your company grows and takes on more shareholders, before admitting a new investor, or when bringing the company into compliance with the new Companies Law to avoid fines and violations.

How it works

  1. Assess the company's current position: articles of association, bylaws, resolutions and compliance with the Companies Law.
  2. Identify compliance gaps and regulatory risks and rank them by priority.
  3. Draft the governance documents: internal bylaws, a delegation-of-authority matrix, shareholders' agreements and policies.
  4. Document resolutions and update the company's records with the competent authorities through government platforms.
  5. Provide periodic follow-up to keep pace with regulatory amendments and update documents as they are issued.

Company Formation

Forming your company from choosing the right entity through to issuing the commercial registration, with robust articles of association that protect the partners from day one.

Full details

Choosing the right legal entity and drafting sound articles of association are the two most consequential decisions in any company's life. The firm forms companies of all types under the Saudi Companies Law — limited liability companies, simplified joint stock companies and partnerships — starting with advice on the structure best suited to your business and your partners.

We go well beyond the paperwork: we draft the articles of association and company bylaws to settle, in advance, questions of shareholding, management, profit distribution and partner exit — the very issues that become costly disputes when left to off-the-shelf templates.

You need this service when launching a new business, converting a sole establishment into a company, or entering a partnership that requires a proper legal entity to protect every party's rights.

How it works

  1. A formation consultation to choose the legal structure best suited to the business, the number of partners and the capital.
  2. Reserve the trade name and draft the articles of association or bylaws, addressing management and partners' shareholdings.
  3. Notarise the articles and issue the commercial registration through the Saudi Business Center and Ministry of Commerce platforms.
  4. Complete the statutory registrations: Zakat and tax, social insurance (GOSI), and the required government files.
  5. Hand over the complete formation file with guidance on the company's ongoing regulatory obligations.

Commercial Franchising

Structuring and registering franchise agreements under the Saudi Franchise Law, for franchisors and franchisees alike.

Full details

The Saudi Franchise Law imposes strict obligations on franchisors — chief among them the disclosure document and registration of the franchise agreement — and makes non-compliance grounds for claims and termination. The firm provides end-to-end franchise services: structuring the franchise model, preparing the disclosure document, drafting the franchise agreement, and registering it with the Ministry of Commerce.

We act for both sides: the franchisor seeking to expand their brand within a sound legal framework, and the franchisee who needs a rigorous review of the disclosure document and agreement before committing to a long-term investment.

You need this service if you plan to franchise your brand within Saudi Arabia, or if you are considering buying a local or foreign franchise and want to understand your obligations and rights before signing.

How it works

  1. Study the business model and brand and assess their readiness for franchising under the statutory requirements.
  2. Prepare the disclosure document and franchise agreement in full compliance with the Franchise Law and its regulations.
  3. Deliver the disclosure document to the franchisee before signature, within the statutory period.
  4. Register the franchise agreement and disclosure document with the Ministry of Commerce through the designated platform.
  5. Monitor performance of the agreement and advise on renewal, amendment or any dispute that arises.

  4. Follow-Through to Closure

Clear answers to what our clients ask most

How do I get an initial legal consultation, and what does it cost?

Contact us on WhatsApp at 0530082551 or through the website form, and we will arrange an appointment at our office or remotely. Consultation fees depend on the nature and complexity of your matter — we set them out transparently before we begin, with no surprises.

Will my information and case remain strictly confidential?

Can my case be handled remotely, without attending court?

In many cases, yes. We represent clients in virtual hearings via the Najiz platform and file claims and memoranda electronically, saving you time and in-person attendance except where the court requires it by law.

How long does a case usually take?
