Public & Regulatory Legal Services

Representation before government bodies and administrative courts in licensing and regulatory decision matters.

Public and regulatory law in Dammam covers challenging administrative decisions and government licensing before the Board of Grievances. If you have a dispute with a government body or a regulatory decision affecting your business, the next step is reaching out on WhatsApp.

When the State Itself Is a Party to Your Dispute

Dealing with a government body is fundamentally different from an ordinary dispute; the procedures, deadlines, and competent judicial body are all governed by special rules. Our public and regulatory practice specializes in representing individuals and businesses before the Board of Grievances and regulatory bodies, where a simple procedural error can extinguish an otherwise legitimate right entirely.

Challenging Administrative Decisions

We draft and file appeals against administrative and government decisions before the Board of Grievances, whether the decision rejects or revokes a license or imposes an administrative penalty, relying on jurisdictional, procedural, or legal defects that invalidate the decision.

Government Contracts and Procurement

We help contractors and suppliers with government contracts and procurement, from drafting bids and reviewing tender documents, to grieving exclusion or award decisions, and representing them in execution disputes with contracting government bodies.

Immigration and Residency for Foreign Business Staff

Given the density of foreign investment in the Eastern Province, we help businesses and their employees with immigration and residency matters, from sponsorship transfers and residency renewals to resolving regulatory obstacles delaying the hiring of foreign talent.

Municipal Violations

We represent individuals and businesses in grieving municipal violations, whether related to a commercial premises license, a construction violation, or health requirements, starting with an administrative grievance and escalating to a judicial appeal where needed.

Nationality and Premium Residency

We advise on nationality and premium residency programs for investors and rare-talent professionals seeking long-term residence in the Kingdom, helping them meet the statutory conditions and submit the application correctly.

Associations and Non-Profit Organizations

We help associations and non-profit organizations comply with National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector regulations, from formation and drafting internal bylaws to defending against any regulatory violation.

Professional Licensing and Disciplinary Matters

For licensed professionals such as accountants, engineers, and real estate brokers, we help with professional licensing and disciplinary matters, from license renewal to defense before professional disciplinary committees when a complaint or alleged violation arises.

How We Start With You

Send us a copy of the decision or notice in dispute along with the date you received it on WhatsApp, since appeal periods in administrative cases are short and cannot tolerate delay. We assess your chances of appeal candidly and set out the timeline and cost before any commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

A government body rejected my licensing application without a clear reason. Can I appeal?

Yes, you have the right to appeal before the Board of Grievances within the statutory period from the date you learned of the decision, and we help you draft the appeal based on procedural or substantive defects in the decision.

What is the limitation period for appealing an administrative decision?

Usually sixty days from the date you learned of or were notified of the decision, and missing this period can extinguish your right to appeal, so acting quickly after the decision is issued is essential.

I received a municipal violation I believe is unwarranted. What are my options?

You can first file an administrative grievance with the municipality, and if it is rejected or unanswered, we file an appeal before the competent judicial body supported by documents that negate the violation or mitigate its effect.

We bid on a government tender and were excluded. Can we object?

Yes, government procurement regulations allow grieving an exclusion or award decision within specified periods, and we help you assess your chances of objecting before time runs out.

Do you help renew or transfer a residency or work license?

Yes, we follow up residency and professional licensing procedures before the relevant authorities, and step in when a regulatory obstacle delays a renewal or transfer.

Our non-profit association faced a regulatory violation. Who handles the defense?

We represent associations and non-profit organizations before the regulators overseeing the sector, whether grieving a decision or aligning internal bylaws with the regulations.
