What clients say
We engaged the firm on a full restructuring of our supplier contracts. What set them apart was that they understood our operations before they understood the contract.
The speed of response and the clarity of the recommendations saved us months on incorporation and licensing

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How do I start working with Diwan Al-Hakma?
Send a request through the contact form, message us on WhatsApp, or call. We begin with a short scoping call to understand the matter, then send a written fee proposal setting out the scope and deliverables before any work starts.
Is the first consultation free?
The initial scoping session is complimentary; its purpose is to understand your matter, establish the required scope and estimate fees. A written legal opinion or any substantive work on the file is subject to the agreed fee.
How are fees determined?
We offer five engagement models: pay per service, a discounted monthly package (SAR 5,000 a month), a monthly package (SAR 10,000 a month), a comprehensive package (SAR 200,000 a year), and on-demand. Fees are set by headcount, scale of activity and the required compliance scope, weighing the financial and operational impact. All prices are exclusive of VAT.
Do you represent clients before the courts?
Yes. We represent clients before the competent judicial bodies at every level of litigation, prepare statements of claim and pleadings, track the case with periodic reporting, and then commence and follow enforcement through to closure of the file.
Do you work with foreign investors and international companies?
Yes, and we maintain a dedicated foreign investment and corporate function. We cover legal feasibility studies, selection of the appropriate entity, issuance of the commercial register and licences, registration with government bodies, alignment of legal structures with regulator requirements, and the drafting of G2G, G2B and B2B agreements.
