BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commercial & corporate law in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to company and commercial matters, with detailed knowledge spanning contract drafting, shareholder rights, claims and defence. Commercial legal matters in Syria range from contract and company decisions to agency, trademark, payment and insolvency disputes. The useful starting point is the business decision or problem: entering a transaction, protecting an asset, responding to a claim or recovering a proven debt.

Historical Trade Law 33/2007 covers commercial activities, contracts, negotiable instruments and insolvency. Companies Law 29/2011, industrial-property Law 8/2007 and Civil Procedure Law 1/2016 may supply distinct rules according to the issue. No single framework answers every commercial question; current amendments, sector rules and the chosen dispute forum require targeted review. A short chronology and complete agreement usually clarify the issue better than a general description of unfair treatment. Identify the decision, transaction or payment actually disputed.

We agree the work your matter needs: Choose contract drafting or review, corporate or agency analysis, intellectual-property protection, dispute resolution or debt recovery. A matter spanning several topics should be organised around one factual record and separate legal questions. The deliverable is agreed for your file: The consultation can deliver a matter map, a prioritised document list and an agreed analysis of obligations, options and next steps.

Our specialist legal team is led by Omar Al-Baghdadi, with more than 30 years of legal experience.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on commercial & corporate law in Syria

How should a Syrian commercial matter be directed to the right service?

Identify the transaction and current stage. Contract review addresses obligations before or during performance; company advice addresses ownership and management; dispute work addresses a defined claim; enforcement follows a qualifying title. Select the topic that matches the immediate decision and provide the supporting records.

Can one consultation cover connected contract and company issues?

The scope can be organised around the connected facts, with each legal question and required work product identified expressly.

Should an urgent notice be sent before all records are organised?

Provide the notice and service date immediately so urgency can be assessed, then supply the remaining records for the substantive review.
