Administrative Law Lawyers in Riyadh
Administrative cases are disputes in which one of the parties is a government body or public authority, and they fall under the jurisdiction of the administrative courts of the Board of Grievances (Diwan Al-Mazalim). Examples include challenging an administrative decision, claiming employment rights as a government employee, seeking compensation for harm caused by the act of an administrative body, and disputes relating to government contracts and tenders.
Because Riyadh is home to a large number of government bodies, employees and businesses contracting with them, many of its residents and companies need a lawyer who knows the grievance procedures and the statutory deadlines for filing an administrative claim, since missing these deadlines may cause the right to have the claim heard to lapse. It is advisable for the lawyer to review the disputed decision and the grievance correspondence before taking any step. The lawyer will also determine the appropriate type of claim: a claim to annul a decision differs from a compensation claim or an employment-rights claim in terms of the relief sought and the evidence required. The lawyer also follows the proceedings online through the services provided by the Board of Grievances and keeps you updated as matters progress.
