About Us

Founded in 2011 by Dr Abdulrahman Baamir, our firm was established on a singular conviction: that clients operating in complex legal environments deserve counsel that is not only technically excellent but genuinely committed to understanding their commercial objectives.

We do not offer generic advice: every instruction receives the close and considered attention of senior lawyers who bring both academic depth and real-world acumen to every matter.

The firm is licensed by the Saudi Ministry of Justice (Firm Registration No. SBA00006310) and our founding partner holds a personal licence to practise Saudi law (Licence No. 3226).

Dr Abdulrahman Y. Baamir

LLB. LLM, PgD, Ph.D

Dr Baamir is one of the Kingdom’s foremost authorities in commercial law, with specialist expertise in international commercial arbitration, Saudi law, Shariʼa and commercial law. Educated in the United Kingdom to doctoral level, he completed his Ph.D. at Brunel University London in 2009 with a thesis on Saudi judicial practice in commercial and banking arbitration, subsequently published by Ashgate as a leading reference work in the field.

Dr Baamir has been in legal practice since 2003, and has advised and represented clients before the full spectrum of Saudi judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, including the Commercial Courts, the Board of Grievances (Administrative Courts), the Committee for the Settlement of Banking Disputes, the Committee for the Resolution of Securities Disputes, Tax Violations and Disputes Resolution Committees, Tax Appeal Committees, Customs Committees, and Customs Appeal Committees.

He has served as party-appointed arbitrator and chairman of arbitral tribunals in domestic and international arbitrations spanning mining, construction, IT, distributorship and agency agreements, investments and joint ventures, licensing arrangements, real estate, and turnkey projects.

Dr Baamir is frequently instructed as an expert witness on Saudi and Shariʼa law by foreign courts and arbitral tribunals, having submitted expert reports to the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, the United States District Courts, the Superior Court of Québec, and to the ICC, LCIA, and ad hoc international arbitral proceedings.
