Most disputes that reach court could have been avoided by a carefully written contract. A contract decides what happens on delay, breach or disagreement, who carries the risk, and how disputes are resolved.
Usus Law Firm drafts and reviews contracts for companies and individuals under Saudi law, including the Civil Transactions Law, the Labor Law and the Companies Law. We read the contract from your side, mark what needs changing and propose wording, and we work with bilingual Arabic and English contracts.
Contracts we draft and review
Employment: employee contracts, non-compete and confidentiality, internal regulations.
Commercial: supply, distribution, services, agency and franchise.
Construction: payment schedules, performance guarantees and delay penalties.
Lease: residential and commercial leases, including those documented on Ejar.
Partnership and investment: shareholders agreements, exits and joint ventures.
NDAs: protecting confidential information before and during negotiations.
How we work on a contract
1. Understanding the deal: the parties, your goals and the risks that concern you.
2. Drafting or review: comments on each clause with alternative wording.
3. Negotiation: we explain each change and negotiate with the other side if you wish.
4. Final version: ready to sign, with a summary of obligations and key dates.
Clauses no contract should miss
Clear obligations; consequences of breach (penalties, termination, limits of liability); dispute resolution (court or arbitration, governing law, venue); and termination and notice.
In a bilingual contract, state which language prevails; Saudi courts work from the Arabic text.
