We advise companies, government entities and investors on complex legal and regulatory matters, combining deep local expertise with a structured methodology focused on understanding each matter and framing the right decision.
About Us
Mithaq is a Saudi law firm advising on matters where legal decisions have a direct impact on business, investment and compliance. From complex transactions and strategic investments to regulatory frameworks and disputes, we work with our clients at the moments that call for a precise legal opinion and a clear understanding of the context in which a decision is made.
Our practice rests on a clear principle: legal advice should give decision-makers greater clarity. We therefore consider every engagement in its legal and commercial context and base our advice on the facts, the applicable laws and the client’s practical objectives.
Our expertise covers corporate affairs and business frameworks, mergers and acquisitions, investment, venture capital, capital markets, government projects, foreign investment, infrastructure, regulatory advisory, dispute resolution and family business matters.
Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we operate through our two offices in Riyadh and Dammam and have a regional presence in Bahrain, Iraq and Syria. Outside the Kingdom, we work through our affiliated companies in collaboration with local firms. Our membership of the global Grimaldi Alliance (which brings together leading independent law firms in more than 80 jurisdictions) also enables us to provide integrated legal support on international matters, while preserving our independence, our responsiveness and our direct approach to client service.
For us, independence is not simply a business model; it is the foundation of the advice we give. We base our opinions on the law, the facts and our clients’ interests, which allows us to give clear, objective and practical advice, even on complex or sensitive matters.
The quality of advice begins with the quality of the people who give it. We foster a professional culture founded on excellence, integrity and responsibility, and we encourage our team to think critically, work with discipline and give every engagement the care it deserves.
The name Mithaq signifies commitment, reflecting the responsibility we assume every time a client entrusts us with a matter or a decision. That commitment translates into advice that is sound, dependable and worthy of the trust placed in us.
We do not measure the quality of legal advice by precision alone, but by its ability to give clients the clarity and judgement they need to make decisions. We therefore consider every matter in its legal, commercial and strategic context, and aim to provide advice that goes beyond mere compliance to address the matter at its root.
We connect legal analysis with the realities of business, investment and regulatory frameworks, so that our recommendations are legally sound and commercially considered.
We test assumptions, review the facts and ask the essential questions before reaching well-founded, balanced conclusions.
Our work is built on a team that values quality and combines expertise, curiosity, discipline and a commitment to getting the details right.
Our clients’ businesses extend across multiple borders. Through trusted professional relationships in a range of jurisdictions, we coordinate the expertise required for matters that reach beyond the Kingdom.
Connected to the Saudi Legal Ecosystem
Our practice is directly connected to the Kingdom’s legal and regulatory frameworks, which helps us understand local requirements and address them in their proper context.
