When Is an Arbitral Tribunal Incompetent? Effect of Breaching the Arbitration Clause

This study explains that an arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction does not arise merely from the existence of an arbitration clause, but depends on compliance with the institution, rules, and formation mechanism agreed by the parties. The dispute concluded with the tribunal held to lack jurisdiction to hear the claim, and the party who initiated proceedings before an incorrect forum ordered to bear the arbitration costs.

Legal Opinion in a Real Estate Case

Analysis of a Complex Real Estate Case in Syria

This study concerns a complex real estate dispute in Syria in which an heir claims entitlement to the value of a property formerly owned by his father. Ownership was transferred to the grandmother, who later sold the property to a third party shortly before the father’s death. The case focused on suspected irregularities in the transfer of ownership, the absence of genuine consideration, and the fictitious price recorded in the sale contract. **CounselO | كاونسلو** helped reconstruct the case legally by reviewing contracts and real estate records, analyzing examination transcripts, arranging the chronology of events, and highlighting the discrepancy between the recorded price and the property’s actual value. As a result, the court moved toward commissioning a **real estate expert valuation** to determine the property’s actual value, marking an important shift in the proceedings. In summary, CounselO’s support transformed a general claim into an organized legal case grounded in evidence, chronology, admissions, and the fictitious recorded price.

Commercial Contract Case Study

Smart Legal Negotiation

This case study examines CounselO’s role in reviewing a non-disclosure agreement for an international technology project by analysing legal and commercial risks and negotiating more balanced provisions. The review focused on key issues including dispute resolution, the non-circumvention period, the definition of business opportunities, limitations of liability, brand identity protection, and the regulation of future relationships. Most proposed amendments were accepted, while the foreign arbitration clause remained under negotiation. The study demonstrates the importance of specialised legal review in protecting interests and reducing risks before international contracts are signed.
