The nature of cases in Jeddah, Makkah and Taif

In Jeddah, shipping, supply and commercial agency matters recur, and establishing what was actually received, when it was received and what was paid for it is the basis of any claim. We therefore usually request shipping documents, delivery records, invoices and statements of account early on.

In Makkah, many businesses operate under contracts tied to the Hajj and Umrah seasons, which makes performance deadlines, termination conditions and compensation for delay decisive provisions. In Taif, matters involving agricultural and tourism contracts and commercial leases for small and medium-sized enterprises arise.
