Mediation Services for Commercial Disputes in Saudi Arabia

In the vibrant and fast-growing Saudi economy, disputes between businesses of all types have become a natural occurrence. However, it is possible to resolve conflicts before they aggravate and incur exorbitant costs to be settled or take a long time to be considered before the courts. Mediation is deemed the ideal option compared to traditional litigation, as it empowers companies to resolve disagreements between them rapidly in a confidential atmosphere, while reducing potential business interruption.

Sadany & Partners Law Firm, located in Riyadh, provides specialized conciliation services for business conflicts throughout the Kingdom. We have an elite group of experienced advocates who provide legal support to clients through conciliation between the disputed parties in commercial disputes, while assisting them to reach amicable, effective, and hands-on settlements.

If you are involved in a commercial disagreement, Sadany & Partners is here to assist you with specialized conciliation services purpose-built to safeguard your rights and interests, while keeping commercial relationships strong.

Why Mediation for Commercial Disputes?

Mediation has become a preferred dispute resolution means in the Kingdom's business sector for various reasons, including:

Affordable Cost: Conciliation is typically significantly less expensive than arbitration or litigation.
Time-Saving: Most of the time, it is possible to settle the conflict within days or weeks, rather than years, compared to traditional litigation.
Confidentiality: Mediation is conducted inside conciliation sessions characterized by privacy, protection of sensitive commercial information, and maintaining the reputation of the involved parties.
Relationship-Preserving: Mediation focuses on cooperation; therefore, it is considered an optimal method for resolving disagreements among partners, clients, suppliers, and other parties involved in ongoing commercial relationships.
Flexible Solutions: In mediation, the parties can draft tailored dispute resolution conditions that the court cannot enforce.

With the increasing emphasis on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) under Vision 2030, mediation has become the prevailing means for resolving commercial disputes in the Kingdom.
