What شبكة المحامين العرب المحدودة does

Arab Lawyers Network L.L.C. (شبكة المحامين العرب المحدودة) is a private Saudi limited liability company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Riyadh, with additional offices in Ajman (UAE) and Kuwait City. It is the first electronic legal encyclopedia publisher in the Arab world, operating country-specific legislation databases covering Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt, plus an International Treaties Encyclopedia and an Arab Judicial Rulings Encyclopedia containing over 310,370 court rulings. The core technology is a proprietary legal text digitization platform — pioneered in 2001 — that converts paper and image-based legislation into searchable electronic text with an ID Card metadata system, 7-tier classification, latest-amendment versioning, and cross-linking between legislation and judicial rulings. Bilingual Arabic/English coverage was completed in 2022.

The company monetizes primarily through annual subscriptions sold directly via its website (mohamoon.com) to individual legal professionals (lawyers, judges, legal researchers) and through institutional IP-address group subscriptions to law firms, government entities, and universities. Add-on revenue streams include English encyclopedia subscriptions, a customized Legal Grounds Preparation Service, advertising on network sites, and separate platforms for legal services and contract templates. Distribution is supported by a network of country representatives across the Arab world, an email newsletter list of 25,000+ addresses, and country-specific web domains optimized for organic search. The company employs approximately 16 people and is managed by Director General Abdullah Muhammad Al-Nasseri, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.

The business is founder-controlled, privately held under Saudi Arabian law, and has operated continuously without external funding for over 25 years. Its strategic posture is content-led incremental expansion — adding new jurisdictions, languages, and add-on services over time — rather than venture-backed scaling.

• LexisNexis: Global legal research and information platform with comprehensive case law, legislation, and secondary sources.
