02.Divorce, maintenance and child custody
Review separation, maintenance, custody, contact or family-status recognition with attention to the people affected and existing orders. Identify the applicable personal-status framework and urgent child or financial concerns before choosing a procedure.03.Commercial disputes and business claims
Resolve commercial payment, supply, agency and partner disputes by identifying the transaction, obligation and evidence of performance. The initial review separates recoverable claims from corporate, regulatory or procedural issues requiring a different route.04.Property and rental disputes
Review title, possession, rent or construction obligations using the property records and the actual agreement. Separate registration and boundary issues from payment, defects or handover claims before giving notice or starting proceedings.05.Employment disputes and unpaid benefits
Assess unpaid wages, termination, workplace discipline or end-of-service calculations against the employment relationship and payment history. Review the appropriate complaint route and the effect of signing a resignation or settlement before acting.06.Company formation and foreign investment
Assess market entry, an investment structure or a dispute before committing funds. Distinguish investor registration from company formation, sector approvals and operating permissions, and review partner rights and exit terms.07.Administrative decisions and appeals
Review a licence refusal, administrative penalty or tender decision before choosing an objection or court challenge. The review examines the decision, reasons, service date and available procedural route.08.Commercial arbitration and dispute resolution
Assess the arbitration agreement, seat and procedural stage before starting a claim or responding to one. Review can address tribunal jurisdiction, settlement, interim relief and the separate requirements for challenging or enforcing an award.09.Debt collection and judgment enforcement
Determine whether a judgment, instrument or unpaid claim supports an enforcement application or needs a prior merits claim. Review service, objections, payment records and available asset information before recommending recovery steps.10.Company formation and shareholder disputes
Plan company formation, governance changes, a shareholder exit or dissolution around the entity’s legal form and records. Review signing authority, approval requirements and ownership rights before committing the company or transferring an interest.11.Contract drafting, review and disputes
Review a draft agreement or a disputed obligation before signing, giving notice or stopping performance. Identify scope, payment, acceptance, liability and termination risks, then prepare the agreed amendments or response.12.Criminal cases and investigations
Assess a complaint, summons or criminal accusation from the alleged facts and current procedural stage. Preserve the available evidence and identify the competent investigating authority, response requirements and need for locally authorised representation.13.Banking disputes and finance agreements
Review disputed bank transactions, financing obligations and guarantees using the actual facility terms and account records. Separate a service complaint from a payment claim, regulatory question or enforcement defence.14.Trademarks and intellectual property protection
Assess ownership, registration, licensing or infringement of a mark, work or invention. Compare the claimed right with the disputed use and available evidence before choosing an objection, negotiated licence or enforcement response.15.Tax objections and disputed assessments
Review registration, reporting, assessment or penalty questions using the tax period, activity and authority record. Identify the applicable tax and objection route before disputing an amount or submitting a correction.16.Cybercrime complaints and digital evidence
Respond to account compromise, online abuse, data incidents or technology-contract disputes without damaging the evidence. Review lawful preservation, platform or authority reporting and contractual responsibilities before selecting a response.17.Medical malpractice and compensation claims
Assess a treatment complaint using the medical chronology, records and specialist findings. Distinguish an adverse outcome from an evidenced breach, and review causation, loss and the appropriate medical complaint or compensation route.18.Rejected insurance claims and coverage disputes
Review a rejected or delayed insurance claim against the policy, exclusions and claim history. Separate coverage, valuation and fault disputes, and identify whether the next step is an insurer response, regulatory complaint or formal dispute.19.Civil claims and damages
Assess contractual and non-contractual obligations, ownership or compensation from the facts and available proof. Distinguish validity, performance and damages questions so the requested remedy matches the legal basis of the claim.20.Civil court procedure and appeals
Review the claim, service and case history to identify the correct court, procedural request or appeal route. Check evidence gaps and filing deadlines before submitting a pleading or relying on an existing judgment.21.Criminal investigation, detention and appeals
Identify what can be challenged at the current criminal-procedure stage, including service, detention, investigation steps or a judgment. The review links each proposed request to the competent authority, supporting record and applicable deadline.How CounselO’s legal services work
Choose a practice area by the issue, then tell us what you need: an answer to a legal question, a document review or a plan for next steps. We confirm the appropriate service before agreeing the engagement.
Tell us what you need
Send a short summary, the relevant country and any known deadline. We identify the information needed for an initial review.
Agree the scope and fee
We confirm the legal question, required documents, deliverable, timing and fee before paid work begins.
Receive written guidance
Your consultation explains the assessment, options, risks and practical next steps. Clarifications stay within the agreed scope.
Decide on the next step
Any further work, follow-up or coordination with a licensed professional is agreed separately unless already included.
What you receive within the agreed scope
- Legal consultation
- A written response addressing the agreed question, relevant facts, options, risks and next step.
- Document review
- Review of a defined document set with a summary of risks, gaps and recommended amendments or responses.
- Matter roadmap
- Priorities, deadlines, required documents and an assessment of any need for local professional coordination.
The fee, delivery format and timing are confirmed after the initial review and before paid work. Drafting, negotiation and follow-up are included only when stated in the agreed scope.
How the Syrian legal framework shapes your matter
Operative rules and amendments
The review identifies the applicable legal text, amendments and relevant dates for the specific matter. A law number, earlier approval or old document alone does not establish the current legal position.
Property, family and case records
Identify the location of property or records, the issuing authority, the parties involved and any existing judgment. The assessment separates missing evidence or record issues from questions requiring a claim or local procedure.
Clients and documents abroad
For documents issued outside Syria, identify the issuing country, intended use and receiving authority. Any translation, certification or authorisation requirements are checked against the proposed local step before it is agreed.
Provide a brief summary, where you and the relevant records are located, and any deadline or pending proceeding. Mention documents already available; we confirm what is needed for consultation and what may require separately arranged local assistance.
Jurisdiction disclosure
Who provides the work, and what is separately scoped
CounselO provides online consultation, document review and preliminary legal analysis for Syria matters. The applicable professional and court requirements are confirmed before any service begins.
Consultation provider
The consultation is provided through CounselO's legal team under the professional direction of Lawyer and Legal Counsel Omar Al-Baghdadi.
Professional licensing jurisdiction
Syrian-law work is assessed against Syrian professional and procedural requirements. Any reserved activity is assigned to an appropriately licensed Syrian professional or office.
Court representation
Court filing, attendance and representation in Syria are not created by browsing or consultation alone. They require a separate engagement with the professional authorized for that forum.
Cooperating counsel and terms
A cooperating Syrian lawyer or office may be involved where the service requires local representation or another reserved activity. Scope, fees, deliverables and responsible professional may differ by service and are confirmed in the engagement terms.
