Legislation and projects with governmental authorities

“We act for and on behalf of governmental authorities in projects involving legislation and regulatory reform, privatization, and public-private partnerships.”

We are among the most respected firms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia operating in this field.  We have successfully advised many government authorities to meet their project needs – especially through the provision of legislation services and privatization.

The close teamwork displayed by our legal experts in the corporate and litigation area enables us to provide clear and effective legislative advice.  Proof of our experience in this filed is our recent work with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs.  We provided advice to them on the creation of 178 new municipal councils and establishment of electoral systems for public elections.  We also recently advised the Saudi Ministry of Water and Electricity in relation to the formation of a comprehensive water act, the Water Act.  This advice was the foundation for a modern regulatory framework for water in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Our practice in this area has contributed greatly to a number of developments in the Middle East via the drafting of significant laws and legislation.  We counsel clients on:

• Legislation analysis and development
• Drafting new laws and implementing regulations
• Structuring and governance of governmental authorities
• Privatizations
