Legal Services
Trabulsi & Co. provides a range of legal services. It helps individuals, local businesses, and global corporations with:
Navigating the Saudi Arabian Commercial Landscape
An understanding of the country's legal framework is vital to succeeding in the KSA market and key to capitalising on opportunities while mitigating risk. Note that the local legal framework is a blend of modern commercial statutes and foundational principles of Sharia law.
Capital Markets and Financing
Accessing Saudi Arabia's deep capital markets via the Tadawul (the KSA securities exchange) demands rigorous adherence to the comprehensive regulations of the Capital Market Authority (CMA). The CMA is the sole regulator of Tadawul and has general oversight of the KSA's capital markets.
A successful initial public offering (IPO) or bond issuance hinges on meticulous preparation of disclosure documents and a deep understanding of ongoing compliance obligations. Similarly, structuring asset financing or raising capital through Sukuk and debt instruments requires navigating a complex interplay of commercial mortgage laws and Sharia-compliant financing principles to ensure transactions are both commercially viable and legally sound.
Corporate Structuring and Governance
The new Companies Law simplifies company formation, but maximising its benefits requires enterprises to select the optimal legal structure or entity and establish robust governance.
Family businesses, in particular, need strategic legal counsel to develop family charters and succession plans that accomplish corporate objectives and preserve legacies across generations while complying with Sharia inheritance laws. Ongoing corporate legal services are also essential to maintaining legal good standing with the Ministry of Commerce and ensuring continuous compliance.
Strategic Growth and Alliances
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are a key strategic tool for growth, but each transaction requires clearance from the General Authority for Competition (GAC). The entire process, from initial legal due diligence and uncovering local compliance requirements (and risks), such as Saudization and tax status, to final closing, is a complex undertaking that is better handled with a mergers and acquisitions law firm at the helm.
Entering the market through a Joint Venture (JV) remains a primary strategy for foreign companies. Alignment with the goals of the Ministry of Investment for Saudi Arabia (MISA) and the protection of the interests of all parties are fundamental to structuring these partnerships. Likewise, expansion through franchising and agency agreements necessitates careful adherence to specific commercial laws to ensure the enforceability of critical business relationships.
Protecting Assets and Resolving Disputes
Securing intellectual property goes beyond a one-time filing with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP). It requires an ongoing strategy of protection and enforcement. When disputes arise, companies must decide on a plan of action. Litigation in the Sharia-based Commercial Courts is always an option, but organisations are increasingly turning to dispute resolution mechanisms like arbitration through the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA) for efficient and expert-led outcomes.
Restructuring and Major Projects
In times of financial distress, the Bankruptcy Law provides modern, strategic avenues for restructuring and recovery, and allows viable businesses to move forward. Legal advice is necessary to ensure the best outcomes.
Projects and Contracts
Projects, including complex public-private partnerships, require expert legal handling for bankability and success. Commercial contracts, the bedrock of all operations, must also be drafted with precision to ensure commercial advantage and enforceability under the unique principles of Saudi contract law.
International Arbitration
International arbitration is often required when disputes involve cross-border contracts, foreign investors, or multi-jurisdictional projects. In such cases, arbitration services to resolve such matters efficiently, confidentially, and in line with international rules while safeguarding clients' interests under Saudi law are essential.
