In a profession that is conventionally wedded to billable hours, Knowledge Pioneers Law Firm has dedicated time and resources to provide legal services to those who cannot afford such help. Pro bono work has come to play a central role in the legal practice. Not only is it an effective method for on-the-job training, but it saves both time and money on more formalized programs.

For decades, no court fees were payable in Saudi litigation. This may have resulted in many vexatious claims or a party bringing repeated claims to pressure its counterparty. The introduction of court fees will make parties think long and hard before commencing claims that have little merit and will hopefully encourage more parties to resolve their disputes out of court. The idea of accepting this type of fee may not be easy for some people, but we believe as a team who see the corridors of courts as homes that they will greatly improve the case flow mechanism, will improve the services provided, and will greatly speed up the litigation procedures that currently take a long time due to the number of lawsuits submitted every day.
