Saudi Arabia’s New Companies’ Law
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”) is one of the largest markets in the Middle East with great potential for foreign investors. Recent years have seen heightened activity from the Kingdom’s law makers which manifested in meaningful reforms of the different areas of law – a testament to the country’s appetite for increased foreign direct investment and integration into the global markets.
