Companies and the Business Sector

Since its inception, NKL has focused on providing comprehensive legal services to the business sector. We are proud to support a diverse range of companies, both within the Kingdom and internationally, including assisting with foreign investment in Saudi Arabia and supporting local and international businesses operating in the Kingdom.”

The following services are provided by Naji Khairan Advocates & Legal Consultants to the corporate sector:

  1. Incorporation:

The incorporation of companies, particularly foreign companies investing in the Kingdom, plays a crucial role in ensuring their long-term stability and business performance. At Naji Khairan Advocates & Legal Consultants, we understand the importance of laying a strong legal foundation to avoid unforeseen risks that could potentially lead to failure. That’s why we are committed to providing high-quality legal support during the incorporation process and throughout the stages of market entry, ensuring our clients obtain the necessary licenses to operate successfully in Saudi Arabia

  1. Shareholder agreement:

With the recent amendment to the Corporate Law in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which came into effect in January 2023, the shareholder agreement has become a critical document to consider. Its terms can be incorporated, in whole or in part, into both the incorporation contracts and the company’s main bylaws.

We strongly recommend that corporate partners sign a shareholder agreement that clearly outlines key provisions such as partnership terms, management and voting processes, valuation methods, exit strategies, and other essential elements. This ensures a healthy, well-structured partnership based on a solid legal foundation.

  1. Mergers and Acquisitions:

At NKL, we bring extensive experience in providing legal support for mergers and acquisitions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our expertise covers both representing the buying and selling parties, ensuring a comprehensive approach to every transaction. Our team reviews the legal aspects of the acquisition, including conducting due diligence. Additionally, we assist in preparing disclosure lists and completing all related legal procedures to ensure a seamless and legally sound transaction.

  1. Equity and Ownership structure:

Expanding a company requires a solid, strategic foundation to minimize risks while safeguarding entitlements. Effective asset structuring is crucial to achieving these goals, and it must be built on a sound legal framework. At NKL, we provide expert legal advice and support to help companies structure their assets effectively, ensuring that ownership and control objectives are met with precision and compliance.

  1. Governance and Compliance:

At NKL, we assist both listed and unlisted companies in designing governance models tailored to their structure and size. Our services include drafting internal regulations and overseeing compliance processes at all organizational levels—from owners and boards of directors to committees and executive management. NKL has played a key role in ensuring the compliance of boards and committees with relevant regulations, including preparing comprehensive reports to support ongoing governance efforts.

  1. Legal Consultation for companies:

At NKL, we provide ongoing legal support to companies, ensuring they operate safely and in compliance with Saudi regulations. Our services include drafting and reviewing all types of contracts in both Arabic and English, as well as offering legal guidance on labor matters and intellectual property.
