Abdulmalik Alwarhi · Law Firm & Legal Consultations L.L.C.
Advice before the dispute. Representation when it comes.
A Saudi law firm in Riyadh. We act for individuals and businesses before the general and administrative courts and judicial committees, and provide notary services under a Ministry of Justice licence.
The firm
Working within Saudi Arabia's modern justice system
The firm keeps pace with the transformation of the Saudi justice sector and works across the general courts, the administrative judiciary and the judicial and quasi-judicial committees.
We believe the best dispute is the one that never starts. We begin with preventive advice and careful drafting, and we litigate when it is needed.
Why AMK
What sets our approach apart
Grounded in Sharia and judicial practice

Your matter is not handed to someone you have never met. The founder supervises every case from first opinion to judgment.
Your objective before the case
We start with what you want to achieve, commercially or personally, then choose the route: settlement, arbitration or litigation.
