Drafting and reviewing contracts and agreements
Because the contract is the law that the two parties make of their own free will, «Arab Charter» provides precise legal formulation and review that protects rights and prevents future disputes. We operate based on the civil transactions system, the corporate system, and the commercial franchise system, with clear formulations that are enforceable before judicial authorities, and with a methodology that balances interests and governs implementation and dispute resolution provisions.
Service details
The «Arab Charter» is considered one of the leading bodies in drafting and reviewing contracts of various types, with solid legal formulations that take into account the clarity of obligations and ease of implementation before the competent authorities. We begin by understanding the commercial/legal purpose of the contract and analyzing the relationship between the parties. We then prepare the initial formula, including rights, obligations, enforcement mechanisms, and penalties for breach.
We base our work on relevant regulatory frameworks, primarily the Civil Transactions Law, the Companies Law, and the Commercial Franchise Law. We include safeguards such as: scope of work, compensation and payment methods, timetables, confidentiality, intellectual property, force majeure, termination and its effects, notification governance, and limits of liability. The jurisdiction and dispute resolution clause (mediation/arbitration/judgment) is also governed in a manner appropriate to the nature of the relationship.
Our experience includes preparing partnership contracts, commercial representation, supply, services, operation, employment, franchising, and investment cooperation, in addition to reviewing foreign contracts and translating them with an approved legal translation in accordance with Saudi regulations. We also review existing contracts and propose necessary amendments to fill gaps and reduce risks.
Thanks to our judicial and commercial experience, we ensure that the wording is realistic and enforceable, maintains a balance of interests and reduces the possibility of conflict.
