Cities We Serve
We act for clients across every region of the Kingdom. Choose your city for details of how we work there.
Makkah Province
Jeddah
The Red Sea port city: customs and clearance disputes, commercial agencies, and long-established family companies.
Mecca
An economy tied to Hajj and Umrah: seasonal contracts, endowed property, and expropriation for expansion.
Taif
Agriculture and summer tourism: fragmented inherited holdings, accommodation licences, and seasonal labour.
Eastern Province
Dammam
The Eastern Province judicial centre: oilfield services contracts, industrial construction, and local content.
Khobar
Retail, services and franchising, with Gulf-wide distribution contracts across the King Fahd Causeway.
Dhahran
The energy sector’s home: institutional contracting on standard terms and ownership of engineering and technical deliverables.
Al Hofuf
Al-Ahsa: an agricultural oasis and an oil region at once, with old holdings in the path of urban expansion.
Jubail
An industrial city under the Royal Commission: construction claims, environmental compliance and safety.
Al Qatif
The eastern coast: agriculture, fisheries and retail, with co-owned holdings whose value rose with urban expansion.
How territorial jurisdiction is decided
The question we are asked most by clients outside Riyadh is: where will my case be heard? The answer does not turn on where you live but on the rules of jurisdiction, which differ by type of dispute:
- Labour claims: before the Labour Court with jurisdiction over the workplace, after amicable settlement at the provincial labour office.
- Commercial disputes: before the competent Commercial Court, which sits in the provincial centres and takes matters from the governorates under them.
- Ownership and property claims: before the General Court where the property itself is located, not where the parties are.
- Personal status: before the Personal Status Court, generally where the respondent resides.
- Challenges to administrative decisions: before the Administrative Court of the Board of Grievances, headquartered in Riyadh with regional branches.
The practical effect: a labour claim in Khobar is heard in Dammam, a commercial dispute in Unayzah in Buraydah, and a claim from Rafha is referred to Arar. Knowing this in advance prevents filing before a court without jurisdiction — an error that wastes weeks.
What working remotely actually means
Filing, exchanging memoranda and following hearings run electronically through Najiz; labour settlement through the HRSD platform; and enforcement electronically through the Enforcement Court. That means a lawyer’s location is no longer the decisive factor it once was.
What still requires attendance is limited: some hearings, notarised signatures in certain cases, and site inspections. We attend in those cases, and we tell you in advance rather than on the day.
