The firm undertakes dispute resolution work locally within Iraq and has considerable experience in this area.

The firm can also undertake domestic and give expert evidence re Iraqi law in international arbitrations.
We have appeared before all the relevant major courts in Baghdad, Basra and Nasiriyah plus numerous Investigation Magistrates and Integrity Commission Courts throughout the country, as well as before the CMC Board of Appeal
Key Areas of Expertise:
We have also been involved in judicial inspections and preservation applications.
We take great pride in trying to find commercial solutions for our clients whenever possible because we realize the time taken to resolve matters in court (with the appeal process) can be unhelpful to the client. Suggesting and implementing commercial solutions to difficult situations is something we are used to in Iraq.
We regularly take on work against State entities in Iraq including judicial challenges against state orders regarding suspension and /or withdrawal of licences. We have been heavily involved in negotiations to find common ground with Iraqi State sector companies on behalf of clients
