    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the typical timeline for commercial litigation in Saudi courts?

    Most commercial cases before the Commercial Court resolve within 8–14 months at first instance, with appeals adding 4–8 months. Timelines depend on case complexity, evidence volume, and whether expert determination is required.

    Is arbitration enforceable in Saudi Arabia?

    Yes. Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the New York Convention, and domestic and foreign arbitral awards are enforceable through the Enforcement Courts, subject to Sharia-compatibility review of the award.

    How do you enforce a judgment in Saudi Arabia?

    Final judgments and arbitral awards are filed with the Enforcement Court, which can attach bank accounts, freeze assets, and impose travel bans on the debtor. We manage the full enforcement process and asset tracing.

    Can foreign companies bring claims in Saudi courts?

    Yes, foreign companies can file claims directly. We represent international clients before Saudi commercial, civil, administrative courts, and arbitration tribunals, including SCCA proceedings.
