Best Debt Collection Law Firm In Riyadh2026 | Sadany & Partners

Effective management of debt and accounts receivable is a key component of business success in the Saudi market.

In such cases, buisnesses need a law firm that possesses the precision, speed and strategy necessary to act effectively.

At Sadany & Partners Law Firm, we are recognized for our ability to protect our clients' rights through precise legal representation, resulting in clear financial outcomes. With its local expertise and bilingual capabilities, our team provides quick and clear solutions that ensure secure and effective legal recovery both inside and outside the Kingdom.

1. Riyadh – Business and Legal Capital of the KSA

As the financial and judicial capital of the KSA, Riyadh is home to commercial courts, enforcement courts, and key regulatory bodies, including the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA) and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA).

As the government pursues digital transformation, debt collection in Riyadh has become faster and more predictable through the Najiz e-portal, where claims, judgments and enforcement are managed online. This combination of modern law and procedural efficiency has made Riyadh a major centre for debt collection in the KSA.

However, success still depends on one crucial factor: choosing the right law firm with deep procedural experience and local knowledge.

2. Why is legal accuracy essential in debt collection?

Debt collection is not limited to demanding payment, but extends to building a case that is enforceable from the outset. The slightest procedural error or lack of documentation can delay the issuance of a judgment for months.

We focus on the following:

• Accurate documentation: Verification of contracts, invoices, and payment receipts in accordance with Saudi legal standards.
• Case proper classification: Choosing the appropriate court and procedure – a payment order, commercial claim, or enforcement.
• Compliance with the Civil Transactions Law (2023): Ensuring the legal enforceability of contracts and claims.
• Quick presentation: Submitting cases via the Najaz e-platform to save time and avoid court visits.
• Strategic execution: Converting judgments into collections by freezing bank accounts, seizing property, or settling.

Every step is carried out with the utmost legal precision, because precision is the foundation of speed, efficiency, and success.

3. Our debt collection methodology in Riyadh

Step 1 – Case Assessment and Document Review

We start by reviewing your contracts, invoices, and supporting documents to ensure they comply with Saudi legal requirements. If we find any gaps, we'll help you fix them before filing the claim.

Step 2 – Notice of Claim and Pre-litigation Negotiation

A bilingual legal notice is issued, including the terms of the contract, payment obligations, and relevant articles from the Civil Transactions Law. In many cases, this results in immediate payment or settlement without resorting to litigation.

Step 3 – Commencing the case before the court (payment order or legal action)

If negotiations fail, we will file your claim through the Najiz e-portal.

• Performance orders: A simplified procedure for undisputed debts, usually resolved within 30-45 days.
• Commercial litigation: For complex or disputed cases, they are heard before the Riyadh Commercial Court.

Step 4 – Enforcement of Ruling

Upon the court's ruling, we will initiate legal proceedings before the enforcement court to recover the debt. Enforcement measures may include the following:

• Freezing the debtor's bank accounts.
• Seizure of movable and immovable assets.
• Preventing commercial registrations or imposing travel bans until payment is made.

Step 5 – Settlement and completion of payment

Once enforcement proceedings have commenced, our lawyers actively negotiate to encourage voluntary payment, which often speeds up results and reduces costs.

4. Example: From legal proceedings to full repayment

A Riyadh-based construction firm hired us to recover SAR 4.5 million from a subcontractor.

Steps:

1. Serving a legal notice referring to delivery notes and unpaid invoices.
2. Submitting an online performance request.
3. Obtaining a court ruling within 34 days.
4. Commencing enforcement proceedings – The enforcement court has frozen the debtor's accounts.
5. The debtor paid the full amount within one week to lift the freeze.

Outcome: Full refund plus legal costs in less than six weeks.

This case demonstrates how strategy, speed, and legal precision translate into tangible financial success.

We use these tools strategically, selecting the one that will deliver the fastest and most cost-effective results for each case.
