Corporate Governance
Good governance defines who decides, how they are held accountable, and when disclosure is made. We help companies and family businesses build clear rules for authority, oversight and disclosure consistent with the Companies Law and the nature of their activity, drawing on practical experience managing legal affairs and supporting governance within a joint stock company.
How we help
- Reviewing articles of association, bylaws, and partners' and shareholders' agreements.
- Preparing or reviewing charters for boards of directors, committees and partners' meetings.
- Building delegation of authority matrices and linking them to the business's actual approval procedures.
- Drafting policies on conflicts of interest, disclosure and dealings with related parties.
- Organizing family business governance, decision-making mechanisms and the resolution of disputes among partners.
What to prepare for the review
Send whatever documents you have related to your matter. We will identify any additional needs after the initial review.
- The articles of association or bylaws and all amendments to them.
- The organizational structure and the delegation of authority matrix currently in effect.
- Minutes of recent board of directors or partners' meetings.
- Approved internal policies and regulations and any previous review comments.
How work begins
We begin by reading the current documents and comparing them with what actually happens within the business, then identify the gaps and their priorities, and propose the documents that need to be prepared or amended, along with a plan for their approval.

Frequently asked questions
Does governance matter for unlisted companies and small businesses?
The Companies Law contains provisions on management, liability and conflicts of interest that apply to various types of companies, and organizing authority and oversight benefits any business regardless of its size. We identify the applicable requirements according to the company's type and activity.
Do you assist family companies?
Yes. We help organize the relationship between ownership and management, define the partners' powers, and set mechanisms for the next generation's entry and for resolving disputes.
What is the difference between governance and regulatory compliance?
Governance organizes how decisions are made and oversight is exercised within the business, while compliance concerns the business's adherence to the laws, regulations and policies that apply to it. The two services complement each other.
Do you handle these cases outside Riyadh and Jazan?
Yes, we serve clients in all regions of the Kingdom; consultations are held remotely, procedures are followed up through e-litigation and the Moeen platform, and in-person attendance is arranged when the matter requires it.
