Founder & Chairman

DR. KHALID ALNOWAISER

Dr. Khalid Alnowaiser is a Saudi lawyer, entrepreneur, trusted advisor, governance professional, international arbitrator, and executive leadership coach with more than three decades of experience advising founders, business owners, family enterprises, boards of directors, family offices, private companies, government entities, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations on complex legal, commercial, governance, leadership, strategic, and organizational matters. Throughout his career, he has built a multidisciplinary advisory practice extending well beyond the traditional practice of law. His work integrates legal judgment, commercial understanding, strategic thinking, governance, executive leadership, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, organizational development, and behavioral insight to help organizations and business families make sound decisions, preserve long-term relationships, and build institutions capable of succeeding across generations.

His advisory philosophy combines legal, commercial, financial, governance, leadership, communication, behavioural, and organizational perspectives. This enables him to advise founders, shareholders, boards, executives, and family enterprises on succession planning, intergenerational transition, ownership structures, shareholder relationships, governance frameworks, strategic growth, organizational transformation, conflict prevention, dispute resolution, and longterm sustainability.

Practice Areas

We embrace holistic development and support for the aim of being a first-choice employer within our sectors.

01 01

High-Value Commercial Disputes

We represent businesses, founders and family enterprises in complex, high-stakes litigation before Saudi courts. Our team handles disputes where the outcome materially affects the future of a company — with the preparation, discretion and depth of expertise these matters demand.

Arbitration, Mediation & ADR

When commercial relationships break down, speed and confidentiality matter as much as outcome. We advise and represent clients across domestic and international arbitration proceedings, SADR and ICC panels, and structured mediation — choosing the right forum to protect your position and preserve what can be preserved.

Family Business Law & Advisory

Saudi family businesses face a distinctive set of legal challenges — balancing growth ambitions, ownership complexity and family dynamics. We advise founding families and their enterprises on the structures, agreements and decisions that protect the business across generations, not just the current cycle.

Governance & Family Constitutions

A well-drafted family constitution is the foundation of long-term business continuity. We work with family enterprises to design and implement governance frameworks — defining decision-making authority, ownership rules, entry and exit mechanisms, and dispute resolution processes — before conflict makes them necessary.

Succession & Business Continuity

Transferring a business across generations without disruption requires more than a will. We advise business families on the legal, structural and regulatory dimensions of succession — coordinating ownership transfer, leadership transition and shareholder arrangements to protect business value through the process.

Shareholder, Founder & Ownership Matters

Disputes and decisions between shareholders and founders are among the most consequential — and the most sensitive — a business will face. We advise on shareholder agreements, voting arrangements, deadlock mechanisms, buy-outs and exit structures, acting as both counsel and drafter when relationships are under strain.

Inheritance & Family Business Disputes

When inheritance intersects with a running business, the legal and personal stakes are at their highest. We advise heirs, executors and business partners on inheritance claims, asset division and the legal resolution of disputes that arise when ownership passes — protecting both family relationships and business operations where possible.

Corporate & Commercial Law

We advise businesses at every stage — incorporation, restructuring, joint ventures, acquisitions and day-to-day commercial operations. Our corporate practice covers Saudi company law, regulatory compliance and the transactional work that underpins serious business activity in the Kingdom.

Foreign Investment

Entering the Saudi market requires more than ambition — it requires a clear-eyed understanding of the regulatory environment, licensing requirements and local structuring options. We advise foreign investors and their Saudi counterparts on compliant, commercially sound market-entry strategies under Vision 2030's evolving investment framework.

Finance & Banking

We advise on financing transactions, loan documentation, security arrangements and regulatory matters across conventional and Islamic finance structures. Our finance practice supports both lenders and borrowers on transactions where legal precision and commercial understanding are equally important.

Real Estate & Construction

Saudi Arabia's real estate sector is moving fast. We advise on property acquisition, development agreements, off-plan transactions, construction contracts and disputes — for investors, developers and landowners navigating a market where the legal and regulatory landscape continues to evolve.

Contracts & Commercial Transactions

Every significant business relationship rests on a contract. We draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements — supply contracts, service agreements, joint venture terms, distribution arrangements and more — with the commercial context in mind, not just the legal formalities.

Finance & Banking

Testimonials

"Al Nowaiser handled a complex shareholder dispute for our family group with a level of discretion and strategic clarity we hadn't found elsewhere. The outcome protected both the business and the family relationship — which we were told couldn't be done."

Abdulrahman, Managing Director

"We engaged the firm for a cross-border acquisition that required navigating both Saudi regulations and international counterparty expectations. Their command of both was exceptional. They didn't just advise — they anticipated."

Nora, Chief Executive
