His clients include corporate and investment banking institutions, family-owned businesses, and international corporate clients operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Clients praise his ability to communicate complex legal proceedings effectively in both Arabic and English.

Saad prides himself with responding to all client matters with urgency, accuracy and with the experience clients need to guide them through a crisis when it strikes.

He is a frequent speaker at events, sharing his thought leadership on the latest updates and developments to Bahrain’s legal system and courts. Notably, Saad spoke recently at the Bahrain Business Law Forum 2024, where Al Doseri Law also sponsored, discussing Bahrain’s rapidly changing dispute resolution landscape, the Kingdom’s new “English-Friendly” commercial court, the evolution of arbitration as a method of dispute resolution and the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitration awards. Saad offered his unique insight into the matter, having successfully acted in the landmark, first of its kind international commercial dispute conducted in the English language in the Kingdom in May this year.

Saad also acts as counsel in arbitration disputes before the ICC, GCC Commercial Arbitration Centre and the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR) and is often called upon to act as a mediator in disputes that wish to avoid lengthy court proceedings. He has also been instructed to represent key clients as corporate legal counsel in their disputes.

Prior to founding Al Doseri Law in 2018, Saad gained significant legal experience at other law firms in Bahrain, including Haya Rashed Al-Khalifa and Al Tamimi & Company, successfully assisting with the launch and growth of the latter firm in Bahrain in 2014. Before qualifying as a lawyer, Saad served for ten years as a Captain in the Bahrain Defence Force, and draws upon his rich experience from the military and the law to spearhead the development and growth of Al Doseri Law.

Saad has authored several guides on pertinent legal issues. For example, he has co-authored the International Comparative Legal Guide to Gas Regulation 2012, “A practical cross-border insight into gas regulation work”, published by Global Legal Group, and the practical guide for arbitration in the MENA region (Bahrain Chapter). He is also a regular presenter at seminars hosted by the University of Bahrain and the British Bahrain Business Forum (BBBF), and speaks on many aspects of dispute resolution in Bahrain and more generally on the laws of Bahrain from a practical perspective.
