Legal apps built for Saudi Arabia's digital courts, rules and clients.

Codeeo provides legal services app development in Saudi Arabia for law firms, legal consultancies and corporate legal departments with clients across the Kingdom. We build Arabic first apps with national identity sign in, local payment methods, secure document exchange and matter tracking, designed around how the Saudi justice system now works online. As courts, notaries and conciliation move onto digital platforms, clients expect their own lawyers to be just as easy to reach.

Our team of 80+ works from Riyadh, Dubai and Karachi. Riyadh clients can meet us in person; firms elsewhere in the Kingdom work with us through structured video calls, with every decision written up and shared.

National features

Built on the Kingdom's national systems.

The Saudi legal sector has changed quickly. The Ministry of Justice has moved filings, electronic powers of attorney, licence checks and many court services onto Najiz. Conciliation runs through Taradhi. Several major laws have been codified, including the Civil Transactions Law and the Personal Status Law, which gives clients clearer written rules to ask their lawyers about. Clients who use Nafath and mada every day now expect the same ease from a private law firm.

A Saudi legal app therefore has to sit comfortably beside the national platforms rather than compete with them. The capabilities below are the ones we plan for firms with a national client base. Not every firm needs all of them at once, and discovery decides the order based on where your staff and clients lose the most time.

Explain your project
  • Nafath identity verification

    Clients confirm their identity through Nafath, the national single sign on, instead of sending copies of their ID card. This reduces fraud risk, speeds onboarding and gives your compliance file a verified record. The integration route depends on the approvals available to your firm or its provider, which we confirm before the scope is signed.

    Verified clients from the first login.

  • Power of attorney guidance

    Many matters cannot start until the client issues a power of attorney to the firm through Najiz. The app explains the steps in plain Arabic and English, records the reference once issued, tracks its expiry and alerts the client before it lapses, so work is never paused by an expired authority.

    Authority to act is in place before it is needed.

  • Company data checks

    For corporate clients, the app can pull commercial registration details from Wathq, the Ministry of Commerce data service, where your firm has access. Names, registration numbers and status are filled in automatically during onboarding, which cuts typing errors and speeds up conflict checks.

    Corporate onboarding with fewer manual errors.

  • Lawyer booking across offices

    Lawyer booking app development in Saudi Arabia for multi office firms means routing each request to the right city and team. Clients pick a practice area and a preferred office or video meeting; the app balances bookings across lawyers and respects each office's working hours and public holidays.

    One app serves every office without double bookings.

  • Matter stages that match Saudi courts

    Stages designed around the real route of a Saudi matter: conciliation, filing, hearings at the general, commercial or labour courts, appeal and enforcement. Clients see the stage, the next date and what is needed from them, while internal notes stay with your team.

    Clients understand where their case sits in the system.

  • Conciliation before court

    Many personal status, real estate and commercial disputes pass through conciliation on Taradhi before reaching a judge, and labour claims go through mediation first. The app treats these as stages of the matter, holding session dates, settlement drafts and outcomes, so clients see the whole route and understand why a settlement may be worth considering.

    Clients see conciliation as part of their case, not a detour.

  • ZATCA compliant billing

    Invoices are issued by your accounting system in line with ZATCA e-invoicing, known as Fatoora, and shown in the app with a clear payment request. The app never creates a parallel invoice, so your tax records and what the client sees always match.

    Billing that satisfies both the client and the tax authority.

  • Local payment methods

    Clients pay with mada cards, Apple Pay, STC Bank or SADAD bill references, the methods Saudi clients already trust. Corporate clients can route invoices to an approver before payment, and receipts stay in the matter history for both sides.

    Fewer unpaid invoices waiting on a bank transfer.

  • Encrypted document exchange

    Contracts, pleadings, judgments and evidence exchanged inside the app with encryption, version history and access logs. Each document is visible only to the people assigned to the matter, and downloads are recorded so you can show who accessed what.

    Confidential files leave email and chat for good.

  • Firm wide reporting

    Managing partners see new instructions by city, practice area and source, matters waiting on clients, collection status and response times. Reporting compares offices on the same measures, so you can see where to add staff as the firm grows.

    Expansion decisions based on how each office actually performs.

Who it is for

Four kinds of Saudi legal organisation we serve.

Legal practice in the Kingdom is licensed by the Ministry of Justice, with the Saudi Bar Association supporting the profession, and firms range from single licensed lawyers to national practices with offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and beyond. International firms have also expanded their Saudi presence. These organisations need different things from an app, and the four groups below are where most of our national projects start. The common thread is scale: once a practice serves clients in more than one region, consistency and visibility matter as much as any single feature.

01

National firms with several offices

Practices with offices in two or more cities often find each office running its own way: different intake forms, different booking habits and different ways of updating clients. A single app with shared standards and office level settings brings consistency without forcing every branch to work identically. Law firm app development in Saudi Arabia at this scale also means planning roles carefully, since a partner in one city may supervise matters handled in another. Clients who move between cities, or companies with branches in several regions, keep one account and one matter history wherever the work is handled.

Roll out one office first, then extend.

02

Consultancies offering remote advice

Some legal consultancies serve clients anywhere in the Kingdom, mainly online. For them, the app is the practice: booking, payment, video consultation, follow up questions and written opinions all happen inside it. Legal consultation app development in Saudi Arabia for this model focuses on smooth booking and payment, clear fee terms before each session and a tidy record of advice given. Session notes and written opinions are stored against the client account, so a returning client never has to explain their situation again to a different consultant.

Booking and payment flows lead the first release.

03

Corporate legal departments

Companies operating nationally receive legal requests from branches, projects and subsidiaries in many regions. An internal app lets any employee submit a contract or a dispute with the right documents, while the legal team triages by urgency and region. It also gives the general counsel a clear view of external firm usage across the country. Because Saudi companies often run large projects far from head office, mobile submission with photos and documents from the field is usually part of the first release.

Usually connected to the company's ERP or Microsoft 365.

04

International firms building a Saudi practice

Firms with Saudi offices and colleagues abroad need an app that works in Arabic for local clients and in English for international ones, while keeping data handling in line with Saudi rules. We plan hosting, access and cross border data questions under the PDPL early, so the app passes both the firm's global security review and local expectations. Lawyer licensing and practice rights are matters your firm manages; the app simply records which lawyer is responsible for each matter and keeps licence details visible to administrators.

Six stages to a legal app that works across the Kingdom.

  1. 01National discoverySessions with partners and office leads across your cities, in person in Riyadh and by video elsewhere, to map how each office takes and runs matters today.
  2. 02Standards and variationsWe agree what is shared across the firm, such as intake standards and branding, and what each office can set for itself, such as hours and teams.
  3. 03Compliance planningPDPL obligations, hosting location, retention, NCA controls where relevant and ZATCA invoicing are planned and documented before any build starts.
  4. 04Arabic first buildClient app, staff tools and admin panel built right to left first, with Nafath, payments and accounting connected in the order the scope sets.
  5. 05Pilot office launchThe app goes live in one office first. We watch real usage, fix what slows staff or clients down and refine training before wider rollout.
  6. 06Rollout and growthRemaining offices come on in planned waves, each with training, while the roadmap for the next release is agreed from evidence gathered so far.

Technology

What we build this with.

We choose technology that suits your existing systems, your hosting requirements in the Kingdom and the team who will maintain the app. Cross platform frameworks keep iOS and Android on one codebase, and the admin panel runs in any modern browser.

Questions Saudi firms ask before building.

National identity, local payments, data protection and how the app sits beside Najiz.

Saudi clients expect Nafath sign in, mada and Apple Pay checkout and Arabic first screens as a minimum. Behind those, the app must handle personal data under the PDPL, issue invoices through a ZATCA compliant system and guide clients through steps that happen on Najiz, such as issuing a power of attorney. Planning these early avoids expensive rework later and makes app store review smoother.
