Corporate governance in Saudi Arabia

Governance sets who decides in a company, how they are held to account, and how partners and shareholders are protected. Without it, a company runs well while partners agree and stumbles at the first disagreement, a new investor or a change of generation.

Usus Law Firm helps joint stock companies, limited liability companies and family businesses build governance that fits their size: board and committee charters, conflict-of-interest and related-party policies, family charters and Companies Law compliance reviews.

Governance services

  • Internal charters: board or managers, committees and executive powers.
  • Conflicts of interest: disclosure and related-party transaction policies.
  • Family businesses: family charters, succession of management and ownership.
  • General assemblies: notices, minutes and resolutions in line with the law.
  • Compliance review: checking compliance with the Companies Law and applicable governance rules.
