About

An integrated advisory house from the heart of Riyadh.

We build enterprises, safeguard governance, and lead investment deals — alongside your boards, not in their stead.

We help Saudi organizations transform legal complexity and operational challenges into confident decisions and measurable outcomes.

We combine what no one else combines: deep legal specialization with executive institutional experience, operating as one integrated team. FWG was founded in Riyadh — the capital of decision-making — to serve as the strategic partner for both government and private sectors across the Kingdom.

We serve entrepreneurs, government entities, large and mid-sized corporations, and foreign companies entering the Saudi market. Our solutions are designed to align with Vision 2030 requirements and support sustainable private sector growth.

Brand values

Toward effective professional empowerment

Foresight

We see beyond the moment and plan our clients' future with clarity — before opportunities surface or challenges arise.

Proactivity

We act before challenges arise and decide swiftly when markets move. Taking the first step is not a luxury — it is a competitive advantage.

Boldness

We take clear positions and deliver decisive recommendations. Our clients don't need hedged advice — they need a partner who stands with them with confidence.

Flexibility

We adapt to shifts in the regulatory and commercial environment and turn complexity into opportunity. The market changes — we move with it.

Our differentiation

Why FWG

We combine law and execution

Law firms know the law. Management consultancies know business. FWG brings both together in one integrated team — because our clients' most complex problems don't fit neatly into one category.

Our clients speak before we do

Careem, AlRajhi Bank, PwC, SAMI, Hunger Station — and over 107 clients who have trusted us with their cases and strategic projects.

16+ specialists working as one system

Licensed lawyers, investment advisors, governance specialists, technology consultants, data experts, and HR professionals — working as one integrated team, not as parallel individuals.

16+ official accreditations that anchor trust

The Saudi Bar Association, Capital Market Authority, Ministry of Justice, Monsha'at, Franchise Center — accreditations that translate our competence into an official guarantee for our clients.

Our approach

Four steps from question to outcome

Good advisory doesn't start with the answer — it starts with understanding the right question.

01
Understand
We start by listening, not talking. We analyze the organization's situation, objectives, and pressures before any recommendation.
02
Analyze
Advisory, financial, and operational analysis with depth and precision — no filler reports, only insights that inform decisions.
03
Recommend
Clear, actionable recommendations with explicit positions. Our clients deserve clarity, not lengthy disclaimers.
04
Execute Together
We don't leave clients with a report in a drawer. We accompany them until the recommendation becomes a measurable outcome.

Client voices

What our clients say

FWG didn't just advise us — they built our entire legal and institutional infrastructure from day one and stayed with us through every challenge.
Founder, Tech Startup — Riyadh

The mediation process was exceptional — six weeks instead of two years, and we ended up with a business partner instead of an adversary.
General Manager, Trading Company

They understood our family dynamics as much as our legal situation. The governance framework they built will protect us for generations.
Chairman, Family Business
