Agency & Franchise
As companies seek cost-effective alternatives to establishing a local presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, agency, franchise, and distribution arrangements have become increasingly popular. However, these structures involve complex regulatory and legal considerations under Saudi law, making the role of a trusted local adviser essential. Our practice advises on structuring, registration, compliance, and risk mitigation for agency and franchise relationships, ensuring that arrangements are commercially viable and fully aligned with applicable Saudi regulations.
We act for both principals and agents or franchisees, allowing us to anticipate the needs of all parties and provide balanced, practical advice throughout the relationship lifecycle. Our team helps clients navigate statutory rights and obligations, avoid common pitfalls, and manage risks effectively. In addition to advisory work, we contribute to regional and multi-jurisdictional studies that inform best practices and policy development for SMEs and the wider corporate landscape, while advising clients across various industries on all aspects of agency and franchise operations in KSA.
