Dispute management
NKL provides expert and effective dispute management services across the public, private, and third sectors. Dispute management encompasses more than just litigation; it involves supporting our clients in building their cases and managing their legal positions in response to existing or potential claims or disputes, thereby strengthening their position in any legal matter.
Our litigation team has the ability to effectively communicate with clients and review files in both Arabic and English, making NKL a preferred choice for foreign companies handling disputes in the Kingdom. Our comprehensive dispute management services include legal position management, negotiation, settlement, arbitration, and litigation before various courts and committees in Saudi Arabia.
1. Dispute Management:
Clients often require legal support before initiating settlement, arbitration, or litigation processes to properly prepare their legal position. This proactive approach can significantly help in resolving disputes outside of court and guide clients in making informed decisions. At NKL, we assist our clients in thoroughly assessing their legal position before entering litigation, ensuring they are well-prepared for negotiations and can choose the most appropriate course of action for their specific situation
2. Mediation and Amicable Settlement:
NKL provides dedicated support to clients seeking amicable settlements for their disputes, recognizing the significant benefits of this approach, including reduced timeframes and lower costs compared to litigation and arbitration.
Our legal support in mediation and amicable settlement includes evaluating potential alternatives and the impact of the settlement, drafting the settlement agreement, and completing the necessary legal procedures to establish rights and ensure enforceability in accordance with the terms agreed upon by the parties.
3. Litigation:
NKL provides comprehensive support to clients throughout the litigation process before various courts and committees at all levels. We take pride in our successful track record, having represented a wide range of clients—including individuals, local and international companies, and entities—in numerous important cases
4. Arbitration:
Arbitration is a key method of alternative dispute resolution in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At NKL, we represent our clients before arbitral tribunals, providing comprehensive legal support that includes selecting arbitrators, reviewing arbitration parties, and advocating on behalf of clients during arbitration proceedings.
Additionally, several of our lawyers are qualified to serve as arbitrators or members of arbitral tribunals. Our founding partner, Dr. Alaa Naji, brings extensive experience as an arbitrator, having served in both commercial and sports disputes. He is an accredited arbitrator with the Saudi Commercial Arbitration Center, the Saudi Sports Arbitration Center and the Kuwaiti Sports Arbitration Commission.
