Legislative consulting is a founding discipline of the firm. Below: four landmark, first-of-their-kind mandates — and the methodology, grounded in Legisprudence, that we applied to each.
Our practice is built on a rigorous engagement with Legisprudence — the science and art of making laws. Every mandate moves through the same sequence, from the policy that precedes a text to the assessment that keeps it fit for purpose.
The Kingdom's first comprehensive commercial code.
We led the design and drafting of the Kingdom's first unified commercial code — the foundational instrument governing commercial dealings across the private sector. The mandate began long before any draft: with a comparative legislative study of international models for codifying commercial law, which shaped the Kingdom's approach and the architecture of the statute that followed.
The first statute to regulate the entire sports sector.
We developed and drafted the Kingdom's first statute to comprehensively regulate and govern the sports sector — covering the full institutional and commercial architecture of the industry, from federations to commercial rights. A green-field domain required building the policy foundation and the statutory structure in parallel.
Classical jurisprudence, rendered as an operative instrument.
We developed and drafted the Sharia Principles governing International Treaties and Agreements — translating classical Islamic jurisprudence into an operative legislative instrument for sovereign institutions across the full lifecycle of treaty negotiation, ratification, and implementation. The work demanded equal fluency in legal theory and the practical demands of statecraft.
The statutory framework for sovereign financing.
We developed and drafted the Government Financing Law — the primary statutory framework governing public debt and sovereign financing arrangements. The instrument had to define the executive authority with precision and anchor the delegation that would govern the secondary instruments operationalizing it.
Having helped author the statutes and regulations that govern entire sectors, we understand the law not only as it reads, but as it was designed to work — a vantage point very few firms share. For our clients, that fluency is a decisive advantage: we anticipate how rules will be interpreted and enforced, and we navigate the Kingdom's legal and regulatory requirements with the confidence of those who helped write them.
