How we help with power-of-attorney drafting and authority dispute

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers principal and agent details, intended transaction, recipient requirements, draft authority and any existing power of attorney. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • Is a general power of attorney enough for the intended transaction?

    Articles 482–484 of the Civil Transactions Law reject wording that does not identify the type of legal act. Acts outside administration require a special authority specifying the type of act and associated dealings. Match the proposed sale, settlement or other transaction to the actual authority; notarisation does not expand the wording. List the intended acts, recipient authority, duration and any limits on delegation, receiving money or settlement. Check the principal's identity and capacity and where the document will be used. Broad wording may not meet the receiving body's requirements or the principal's intended limits.

How a Court Dismissed a Major Financial Claim Despite Transfers

A client faced a substantial financial claim based on bank transfers and an accounting report that the company treated as evidence of its entitlement. CounselO Legal rebuilt the matter legally and financially, linking the transfers to operational documents and a financial release, which led to the claim being dismissed in full and established that the client had no outstanding liability.

CounselO Legal Reduces Commercial Commission Claim by 83%

CounselO Legal redirected a SAR 3.48 million commercial commission dispute into a limited liability of only SAR 584,000 by dissecting the undertaking letter and tying the commission to amounts actually received rather than the project’s total value. Although the underlying entitlement was established, part of the percentage was excluded because the advance-payment condition was not met, reducing the claim by more than 83%, with the outcome upheld on appeal.

How CounselO Legal Reduced a SAR 500,000 Claim to SAR 227,000

CounselO Legal was presented with a commercial claim in which the claimant sought SAR 500,000. After reviewing the case and analysing the documents, CounselO Legal developed a defence strategy based on breaking down the claim and separating established amounts from compensation and damages requiring independent proof. In cooperation with the defendant’s legal representative, the case concluded with a judgment awarding only SAR 227,000—reducing the claim by SAR 273,000, or approximately 54.6%. The outcome was subsequently upheld on appeal.
