Commercial lawyer in Riyadh and Tabuk

A commercial dispute puts capital, reputation and business relationships at risk at the same time. Companies and traders need a lawyer who understands the business and knows the procedures and deadlines of the commercial courts.

Usus Law Firm represents companies, establishments and individual traders, Saudi and foreign, as claimants or defendants before the commercial courts, the courts of appeal and the enforcement courts. We start each case by reviewing the documents and estimating the chances and cost, and we may recommend settlement or arbitration where that serves you better. Saudi courts work in Arabic; we prepare every filing in Arabic and explain each step to you in English.

Commercial matters we handle

  • Commercial contracts: supply, construction, sale and services: performance, termination or damages.
  • Partner disputes: management, profits, exit and liquidation.
  • Debt claims: collecting commercial receivables between companies and individuals.
  • Commercial papers: bounced cheques and promissory notes, enforced directly at the Enforcement Court.
  • Agency and franchise: commercial agency and franchise disputes.
  • Bankruptcy: protective settlement, financial reorganisation and liquidation, for debtors or creditors.

How we handle a commercial case

  • 1. Review: contracts, invoices, correspondence and the value and basis of the claim.
  • 2. Notice and settlement: a written demand and negotiation; some claims require written notice to the defendant before filing.
  • 3. Filing and pleading: before the competent commercial court, with accounting or technical experts when needed.
  • 4. Judgment and enforcement: appeal if needed, then enforcement until payment.

Worth knowing

Under the Commercial Courts Law, commercial claims are not heard after five years from when the right arose, unless the defendant acknowledges it or the claimant has an excuse the court accepts.

A bounced cheque is an enforceable instrument: it can be filed directly with the Enforcement Court without a full lawsuit.
