Engaging the firm

Questions clients ask us first

Practical answers before you pick up the phone. If your question is not here, we are a call away.

We offer hourly billing, fixed fees for defined mandates, and retainer arrangements for ongoing corporate clients. Every engagement begins with a clear written fee proposal, so you know what to expect before any work starts.

The first meeting is dedicated to understanding your matter, reviewing the documents you bring, and giving you a frank assessment of your options, risks and likely timeline. You will leave with a clear recommendation on next steps.

Our lawyers work fluently in Arabic, English and French. Contracts, pleadings and correspondence can be prepared in any of the three, and we regularly handle matters involving foreign counterparties and counsel.

Yes. Professional secrecy is a core obligation of every lawyer registered with the Beirut Bar Association, and it is a discipline we take very seriously. Information you share is protected from the very first contact, whether or not you ultimately engage the firm.

Timelines vary widely by court and subject matter. Summary and urgent matters can be decided within weeks, while contested first-instance proceedings commonly take one to three years, with appeals adding further time. Where speed matters, we advise on arbitration, settlement or interim relief from the outset.
