Legal due diligence in Saudi Arabia

Before buying a company or a stake, investing or lending, you need to know what you are getting: are the licences valid, are there pending claims, can the key contracts transfer, are there hidden labor or tax liabilities?

Usus Law Firm prepares legal due diligence reports by systematically reviewing the target's documents, and delivers a clear report of risks ranked by severity, with recommendations for the transaction documents. We work with Arabic records and report in English where needed.

What the review covers

  • Corporate status: Commercial Registration, articles, resolutions and ownership.
  • Licences: validity and conditions of the licences the business needs.
  • Key contracts: customers, suppliers, financing and leases, including change-of-control terms.
  • Litigation: pending and potential claims and unenforced judgments.
  • Employees: contracts, labor liabilities and Saudization.
  • Assets and IP: real estate, trademarks and key assets.
