Who Is the Best Lawyer in Saudi Arabia

Who Is the Best Lawyer in Saudi Arabia?

The question “Who is the best lawyer in Saudi Arabia?” can be answered clearly and directly when specific criteria are defined and applied. In my view, there is a best lawyer in Saudi Arabia if three clear and identifiable standards are met. Without criteria, the question becomes vague. With criteria, it becomes answerable.

About the Author

Mohammed Almuzayen is a lawyer and arbitrator with more than fifteen years of professional experience. He specializes in construction disputes, commercial litigation, government contracts, and franchising agreements. He holds a Bachelor of Law degree from King Saud University in Riyadh (2009) and has worked closely with several major Saudi companies, including Al-Majdouie Group, Bin Zaqr Company, United Mining Investments Company, the listed Al-Mawarid Company, and Golden Petroleum Investment Company.

My Position in Simple Terms

There is a best lawyer in Saudi Arabia if the lawyer satisfies the following three conditions:

  1. Graduation from a major Saudi university

  2. Professional training in a major Saudi city

  3. Clear and explicit declaration of legal specialization

If these three criteria are present, the description “best lawyer” is justified within a professional framework.

Criterion One: Graduation from a Major Saudi University

The first and essential criterion is that the lawyer in Saudi Arabia must be a graduate of one of Saudi Arabia’s major universities, specifically:

  • King Saud University

  • King Abdulaziz University

In my view, graduating from these institutions matters because they provide direct education in Saudi law, grounded in the local legal system, judicial practice, and Sharia-based principles applied by Saudi courts.

This academic background ensures that the lawyer:

  • Thinks within the Saudi legal framework

  • Understands local legal terminology and reasoning

  • Is trained according to the same sources relied upon by judges

This criterion is foundational. A lawyer practicing in Saudi Arabia should be academically formed inside the Saudi legal environment, not detached from it.

Criterion Two: Professional Training in a Major Saudi City

The second criterion is that the lawyer in Saudi Arabia  must have completed professional training in one of the Kingdom’s major legal and commercial cities, such as:

  • Riyadh

  • Jeddah

  • Dammam

Training in these cities exposes lawyers to:

  • Complex and high-value legal disputes

  • Active courts and regulatory bodies

  • Advanced legal drafting and procedural practice

From my perspective, this environment is critical. Major cities concentrate legal activity, corporate work, and sophisticated disputes. Lawyers trained there develop practical confidence and procedural strength early in their careers.

This criterion reflects reality, not theory: legal practice in major cities is more demanding, and training there produces stronger practitioners.

Criterion Three: Clear Declaration of Legal Specialization

The third criterion is that the lawyer must clearly declare their legal specialization to clients.

In my view, a lawyer who openly states their field—such as corporate law, construction disputes, or commercial litigation—demonstrates:

  • Professional honesty

  • Respect for client decision-making

  • Awareness of professional limits

Law is too complex for genuine mastery without focus. A lawyer who claims to handle “all types of cases” weakens professional credibility. Clear specialization is a sign of discipline and seriousness.

For me, this criterion is decisive. Transparency about specialization separates professional practice from general claims.

Why These Three Criteria Are Enough

When these three criteria exist together, they establish:

  • Proper Saudi legal education

  • Strong practical exposure

  • Clear professional identity

At that point, I consider it reasonable to describe the lawyer as the best, based on defined standards rather than vague impressions.

This is not an emotional judgment. It is a criteria-based conclusion.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there is a best lawyer in Saudi Arabia when clear standards are applied. A lawyer who:

  • Graduated from a high-profile university

  • Trained professionally in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam

  • Clearly declared their legal specialization

meets the conditions that justify the title “best lawyer” within a professional and rational framework.

Avoiding criteria avoids responsibility. Defining them makes evaluation possible.
