Determining the Applicable Law in an International Dispute
Among the first challenges in any international dispute is determining which legal system governs the dispute, and we help you analyze your contract's applicable law clause if one exists, or determine applicable international rules in its absence.
Determining the Competent Judicial or Arbitral Body
Alongside the applicable law, we help you determine the competent judicial or arbitral body for hearing the dispute, whether a Saudi or foreign court, or an international arbitration tribunal agreed upon in the contract.
Coordinating With Local Lawyers in Other Countries
When the dispute requires local expertise in another legal system, we coordinate with trusted law firms in relevant countries, ensuring comprehensive legal coverage accounting for the specifics of each legal system relevant to the dispute.
Enforcing Judgments and Awards Across Borders
When a judgment or arbitration award is issued in one country, you might need to enforce it in another country where the other party's assets exist, and we help you follow recognition and enforcement procedures per relevant international agreements.
International Commercial Disputes Between Suppliers and Distributors
We represent local companies in their disputes with international suppliers or distributors, including disputes over goods quality, delivery delays, or breach of agreed regional exclusivity terms.
Cross-Border Investment Disputes
We help investors in disputes related to cross-border investments, whether they're foreign investors in Saudi Arabia facing a local dispute, or Saudi investors facing a dispute abroad.
Challenges of Gathering Evidence and Coordination Across Borders
International disputes carry additional challenges in gathering evidence and coordinating testimony across international borders, and we help you manage this logistical complexity efficiently while preserving the strength of your legal position.
Amicable Settlement as an Option in International Disputes
Given full international litigation's complexity and cost, we often recommend exploring amicable settlement or international mediation first, especially when continuing the commercial relationship benefits both parties despite the existing dispute.
Choosing the Right International Arbitration Seat
When your contract stipulates international arbitration, choosing the arbitration seat fundamentally affects applicable procedures and the ease of later enforcing the decision, and we help you carefully assess this choice before signing any new contract.
