Finding A Lawyer in Saudi Arabia
There are a number of law firms in Saudi Arabia, a small percentage of these firms are in partnership with international law firms. However, it depends on the type of case you facing or want to initiate, usually each law firm have one or more law field they specialise in. In other words, there might be a good chance that the lawsuit you involved in will end up in your favour by a local attorney who is former judge for example rather than by a grand law firm that it is associating with an international law firm.
In some cases a small law firm is more experienced than a large one, especially in criminal or tort lawsuits, the reason why are they might be more competent is that the legal procedure in Saudi Arabia essentially depends on "recently updated knowledge". To put it more simply, a lawyer who is regularly juggling in police stations', The Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution's or/and other investigation bodies' corridors is usually has the skills and the relationships that is essentially required to ease and accelerate a lawsuit or investigation process, moreover, knowing most of courts judges would be also helpful. Commonly in Saudi Arabia, large law firms' scope of work modified after they got upsized to be concentrated on consultations rather than on litigation, they usually engage in corporates acquisitions and IPOs for instance. From time to time, a friend of mine who is an attorney working in a substantial law firm associated with an international partner contacts me to enquire about court's or investigation procedures. As a result, he is not in litigating business neither his colleges or his firm, which could gives the leverage of knowledge and skills for small firms lawyers.
In conclusion, in Saudi Arabia if your case involves police, investigations bodies or a criminal sides, do not pay high expenses and waste more time by appointing an upsized legal firms as your representatives or councils, thinking it is better for your case, I recommend that you ask for experienced attorney or a former judge to handel tour lawsuit.
