Browse our 3 legal questions in Saudi Arabia and the lawyer answers, or ask your own questions for free.
Al Falah is a neighborhood in Riyadh, so most people hire Riyadh-based law firms that serve clients across the city and remotely. The process typically involves identifying your legal needs, shortlisting licensed Saudi lawyers with relevant experience, holding an initial consultation, agreeing on scope and fees in writing, and issuing a power of attorney if court representation or notarized actions are required. The Ministry of Justice regulates the legal profession, courts, and notarial services. Many steps, including issuing and canceling a power of attorney, filing cases, and tracking hearings, can be done online through the Ministry of Justice’s Najiz platform.
Practical steps:
- Define your matter clearly and gather documents and IDs in advance. For non-Arabic documents, plan for certified Arabic translation.
- Verify that your lawyer is licensed to practice in Saudi Arabia. Licensed lawyers appear in Ministry of Justice systems. If you are unsure, ask the lawyer to share their license details so you can verify through official channels.
- Discuss fees and timelines before you commit. Ask for a written engagement letter that lists services, fee structure, billing cycle, and termination terms.
- If court representation or notarial acts are needed, issue a power of attorney through Najiz e-notarization. You can manage, limit, or cancel it online.
- Keep originals and copies organized. Courts and agencies generally require Arabic documents or certified translations.
