Legal Consultations: By Phone, Video, In Office, In Writing, and Full Case Review
We offer five consultation services at set prices: a telephone legal consultation at SAR 150, by video call at SAR 250, in our office at SAR 350, a written legal opinion at SAR 450, and a full case review with a written legal opinion from SAR 900. They are delivered by the two licensed partners according to specialism, and every consultation ends with a clear next step.
Before you sign, reply to a notice, file a claim, or instruct a lawyer, you need an opinion — not an impression.

Consultation Types and Prices
The prices below are our service prices as approved by firm management (September 2026). They are paid to the firm, and no government fee arises on the consultation itself. The length of each consultation and the delivery date for a written opinion are agreed with you at booking.
Telephone Legal Consultation
SAR 150
Session length: 45 minutes.
A telephone call at a set time. Suited to a specific question or initial guidance: do I have a right? Which body is competent? What is the first step? You get a direct spoken answer, the route, and the documents you will need. Documents are not required; you may send what you have before the appointment.
Video Call Consultation
SAR 250
Session length: 45 minutes.
A video call over an agreed app. Suited to clients outside Jeddah, or when you need to show and discuss documents on screen. You get a detailed discussion with the documents reviewed and the options set out. Sending documents beforehand is preferred.
In-Office Consultation
SAR 350
Session length: 45 minutes.
An in-person meeting at our office in Al Muhammadiyah, Jeddah, with the partner who handles your subject. Suited to complex matters and to reviewing original documents. You get an in-depth discussion, examination of the originals, and the route set out. Bring the relevant original documents.
Written Legal Opinion
SAR 450
A signed written opinion sent to you. Suited to when you need a document to refer back to, or to show a partner or accountant. You get a signed memorandum: the facts, the applicable law, the analysis, the options, and the recommendation. The opinion is not issued without the documents.
Full Case Review and Legal Opinion
From SAR 900
A full review of the file followed by a written legal opinion. Suited to before filing or answering a claim, or instructing a lawyer. You get a written legal opinion on the whole case: its strengths and weaknesses and the routes available. We need the complete file (the statement of claim, judgments, contracts, correspondence).
What a Written Legal Opinion Contains
A written opinion signed by a licensed lawyer, setting out the facts as we understood them, the applicable provisions, the analysis, the options and the risk of each, and a clear recommendation. It differs from a spoken answer in that it obliges the lawyer to identify the provision and the assumptions on which the opinion rests, and you can refer back to it and show it to a partner or an accountant. That is why we ask for the documents in full before issuing it, and why we state in it what we did not verify.
| Part | What it contains |
|---|---|
| The facts | What we understood from your documents and account, and what we did not verify |
| The legal framework | The applicable laws and regulations by their official names, with their locations cited after verification |
| The analysis | How the law applies to your facts, and the strengths and weaknesses |
| The options | The routes available, the risk of each, and how long each takes |
| The recommendation | What we advise and the next step specifically |

Confidentiality
What the lawyer sees is confidential as a professional obligation under the Law of Practising Law.
When a Written Opinion or a Full Case Review Pays Off
Five situations where a written opinion saves a great deal later.
Before signing a long commercial lease or a supply contract with penalty clauses.
On receiving a notice or a demand from a party or a government body.
Before entering a partnership, or leaving one.
When you and a partner or client read a clause differently.
Before filing or answering a claim, or instructing a lawyer in a live case.
And if your matter needs instructing a lawyer rather than a consultation, we will say so plainly.

Common Questions About Consultations and Prices
What does a telephone legal consultation cost?
A telephone legal consultation is SAR 150, at a set time agreed at booking. It suits a specific question and initial guidance; if your matter needs a lot of documents read, we point you to the written opinion or the full case review.
What do the office, video, and written consultations cost?
A video call consultation is SAR 250, an in-office consultation at our Jeddah office is SAR 350, and a written legal opinion is SAR 450. These are our service prices as approved by management, and no government fee arises on the consultation.
What does a full case review cost?
A full case review with a written legal opinion starts from SAR 900, and the final price is set by the size of the file — we tell you in writing before we begin. Instructing us on the case itself is priced after the file has been reviewed and the scope of work defined.
Is a legal consultation confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality over what the lawyer sees is a professional obligation under the Law of Practising Law, and no document or information is shared with a third party without your express permission or a legal requirement. That applies to the written opinion as it does to a spoken one, and to what you send us even if you do not go on to instruct us.
Can the opinion be relied on before a body or a court?
A legal opinion is an advisory document expressing the lawyer’s view on the facts put to him; it does not bind bodies or courts. Its value is that it grounds your decision in the law and surfaces the risks early.
Do you draft contracts in English?
Yes — in Arabic, in English, or in both, bearing in mind that the Arabic text is usually the one relied on before Saudi bodies, and we set the prevailing-language clause accordingly. Drafting is priced by contract type after we see what is required.
