In May 2021 Sahal Law Firm received its licence from the Saudi Ministry of Justice and opened its head office in Riyadh’s Olaya business district.
The aim was to fuse deep regulatory expertise with technology-driven workflows, ensuring that Saudi and international companies could obtain prompt, transparent legal support.
Vision and Core Principles
Quality by design – early adoption of ISO-aligned procedures for file management and client communication.
Regulatory compliance – full alignment with the Saudi Law Practice Code and its bylaws.
Digital efficiency – secure online portals that allow clients to track matters and exchange documents in real time.
Initial Areas of Focus
Commercial contracts and technology agreements
Corporate governance for Saudi and family-owned businesses
Domestic and international arbitration
Trademark and patent filings (subsequently reinforced by our SAIP accreditation)
M&A
Early Impact (2021)
During its first seven months the firm handled 35 commercial matters, closed two tech M&A deals worth SAR 18 million, and appeared in seven arbitration hearings.
These results laid the groundwork for nationwide expansion and multiple international awards.
What Came Next
The 2021 launch paved the way for new offices in Jeddah and Al-Khobar, repeated recognition from The Lawyers Global and Legal 500, and a #1 national ranking on HG.org for three consecutive years.
