SAUDI ARABIA Law and Practice Contributed by: Andreas Haberbeck, Derayah LLPC
Derayah LLPC is an independent Saudi Arabian law firm with offices in Jeddah and Riyadh. The firm regu- larly acts for international clients in disputes before Saudi Arabian courts. As an independent firm, it is often instructed by other law firms – including firms with Saudi Arabian affiliates when their local offices are conflicted. It remains the first-choice Saudi coun-
sel for many foreign companies and international law firms seeking advice on Saudi Arabian law. Recent clients include Saudi National Bank, Citicorp Trustee Company Limited and Golden Belt 1 Sukuk Company. The firm is currently involved in nine bankruptcy pro- ceedings, including the Maan Al Sanea/Saad Trading liquidation involving claims in excess of USD8 billion.
