Banking, Finance & Securities Lawyers in Riyadh

Riyadh is home to the operations of many financial institutions, companies and investors, and with them comes a wide range of legal issues connected to the financial sector: financing agreements for individuals and companies, disputes with banks and finance companies over instalments, fees or collateral, and matters relating to investment in the capital market and shareholders' rights. A banking, finance and securities lawyer helps read these complex contracts, assess the obligations arising from them, and represent the client in a dispute. Business owners also engage this kind of lawyer when negotiating credit facilities or rescheduling debts, because the wording of guarantees and repayment terms affects the business's position for years.

The competent body differs according to the type of dispute: banking and finance disputes are heard by specialised committees linked to the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), securities disputes are heard by the dispute-resolution committees within the Capital Market Authority (CMA) framework, while other disputes may be heard before the commercial courts. The lawyer identifies the correct body and the steps that must precede it, such as first submitting a complaint to the financial institution in some cases.
