Commercial law

In modern industrial urban societies with free market economies, companies play a major role as social and economic building blocks. However, companies can not play this role unless they are recognized as legal entities and a system of rules is created to cover their foundation, operation and all aspects of activities related to them. Recognizing this important role of companies in the Syrian market as well as the importance of commercial activities in general, company/commercial law became the major specialization of our office.
The lawyers at khaddour law office practicing company law have in addition to their deep knowledge of laws and regulations in Syria, an understanding of the business environment which enables them to recognize the needs and priorities of a client. Also, as Syria is becoming increasingly an open market, foreign and multi-national companies are penetrating the local market and local business people are seeking opportunities abroad, thus it becomes crucial for our lawyers to be familiar with foreign laws.
Our office provides assistance in the creation of a company, whether it is going to be a locally owned company or a foreign company or a joint venture between local and foreign partners. We also give advice related to compliance with governmental regulations and restrictions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships, management issues, corporate financing arrangements, franchise possibilities and liquidations and dissolution.
