Focus sector
Financial services
Financial services is among the most closely supervised environments a board can operate in, where licensing conditions, continuous-disclosure duties, and conduct obligations shape every decision. Pactis brings finely calibrated counsel to firms working under that scrutiny — translating a layered regulatory landscape into clear, defensible governance.
What we do
Pactis advises financial-sector boards, general counsel, and executive teams on the legal and regulatory architecture that the industry demands — mapping obligations across the Capital Market Authority framework and related conduct, disclosure, and data-protection regimes into a single, coherent programme. We design and document internal-control and compliance frameworks, draft board charters and delegation-of-authority structures suited to a supervised entity, prepare and review disclosure and reporting workflows, and structure the strategic contracts, partnerships, and cross-border arrangements through which financial firms grow. Where a matter calls for filings, licensing applications, or contentious proceedings reserved to licensed counsel, we coordinate the appropriate Saudi or international advisers under a single point of accountability, keeping the work to one disciplined standard from outset to result.
What is included
- Capital Market Authority and conduct-of-business compliance mapping
- Disclosure, reporting, and continuous-obligation workflows
- Internal-control frameworks and compliance-programme design
- Board charters and delegation-of-authority for supervised entities
- PDPL data-governance and consent structures for client data

When you need this
- You are establishing, restructuring, or licensing a regulated financial entity
- A regulator's disclosure or reporting expectations have shifted and your processes need to keep pace
- Your board needs a defensible compliance and internal-control framework ahead of scrutiny
- A cross-border partner or counterparty is entering a transaction with your firm
- Client and account data handling must be aligned with PDPL and supervisory expectations
Scope
PACTIS Legal advises and represents its clients directly on these matters within the Kingdom; where a matter reaches a foreign jurisdiction, it works with licensed local counsel under one accountable standard.
How we engage
This area is well suited to standing counsel on retainer, a defined governance-and-compliance project, or a scoped strategic mandate, with cross-border coordination where a transaction or counterparty spans more than one jurisdiction.
