How we help with wrongful termination

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers contract, termination notice, warnings, performance records, complaint correspondence and final-pay breakdown. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • Where do I start a Saudi labour dispute that needs a decision on the claim?

    For disputes within its scope, HRSD's amicable-settlement service is the first stage before the labour court. The service describes settlement attempts or court referral within 21 working days from the first session; this is not a deadline to start your claim or a promise of judgment within 21 days. Submit the employment evidence and specific demands through the official service. Check separately whether an executable wage contract offers a direct enforcement route. Compare the employer's stated reason with the contract, warnings and sequence of events. Record notice, the last working day and payments offered. A dismissal dispute needs separate assessment of the termination decision and each unpaid entitlement.

Successful Case

Private Right: SAR 750,000 Claim Dismissed

The client faced a financial claim of approximately SAR 750,000 based on bank transfers and an accounting report. CounselO Legal recharacterized the dispute, linked the movement of funds to operational documents, and made the financial release and its issuer’s authority central to the defense. The strategy resulted in the claim being dismissed in full, with the judgment later upheld on appeal.

How CounselO Legal Managed a Sensitive Accounting Review

This study explains how CounselO Legal treated a sensitive accounting review as a matter with potential legal consequences, rather than merely an accounting procedure. The strategy focused on demonstrating the client’s cooperation, defining the review’s scope, and preventing any unintended admission of liability or of the figures, while linking responses to accounting records and official documents instead of personal memory. CounselO Legal also ensured that reservations were included in the review minutes to protect the client’s signature and legal position later.
