Strategic Contracts & Transactions
Strategic contracts are the instruments that carry your most consequential decisions — the agreements where value is created, risk is allocated, and a single clause can shape years of obligation. Pactis works on the contracts and transactions where the stakes are highest, drafting and negotiating documents built to hold under scrutiny rather than to merely close.
What we do
Pactis leads the negotiation and drafting of high-value commercial agreements from term sheet through signing, treating each contract as a structure for allocating risk rather than a formality to be papered. We engineer the commercial architecture of a deal — defining scope, consideration, conditions, warranties, indemnities, termination, and the change and dispute mechanics that decide what happens when reality diverges from plan. Drawing on general-counsel experience in regulated, high-stakes environments, we draft EPC and engineering-procurement-construction agreements, acquisition and joint-venture documents, supply and offtake contracts, and cross-border arrangements, calibrating each to the Companies Law, sector licensing, and disclosure obligations that bear on it. Where a transaction reaches into another jurisdiction or a matter calls for reserved local representation, we coordinate licensed Saudi and international counsel under a single line of accountability — so the commercial intent stays coherent and the agreement remains enforceable across the borders it touches.
What is included
- Term sheets, heads of terms, and negotiation strategy
- EPC and engineering-procurement-construction agreements
- Acquisition, joint-venture, and shareholder agreements
- Supply, offtake, and long-term commercial contracts
- Risk-allocation, indemnity, and dispute-resilience review
- Conditions precedent, change mechanics, and closing coordination
When you need this
- You are about to sign a high-value EPC or construction contract
- A foreign partner or counterparty is entering your group
- You are negotiating an acquisition, joint venture, or strategic alliance
- A long-term supply or offtake commitment will bind you for years
- A draft you have been handed allocates risk in ways you cannot fully read
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 suits a defined strategic mandate for a single transaction from negotiation to close, or standing counsel on retainer where contracting is continuous — with licensed Saudi or international counsel coordinated where a deal crosses borders.
