CounselO SyriaCountry-specific legal content and servicesChange jurisdictionExpert representation in commercial arbitration and dispute resolution under Syrian Arbitration Law No. 4/2008.
CounselO helps individuals and businesses understand arbitration & mediation matters in Syria, review documents, identify practical options, and begin a professional online consultation package through WhatsApp or email, with the law, authority and scope identified before work is confirmed.
Consultation package
A complete, scoped consultation combining detailed written legal analysis, relevant clarifications, optional voice or video support, and agreed follow-up monitoring—without requiring a physical office visit.
Primary deliverable: The primary consultation is a detailed written professional response delivered through email or WhatsApp. Relevant clarification questions are answered within the agreed scope; voice messages, a voice call or video call may be added when they improve the assessment and are agreed in advance.
Follow-up and representation: Follow-up monitoring is included only when stated in the agreed scope, such as tracking an agreed response, deadline or next action; it does not promise a legal result or replace a separate engagement. Court representation, filing and other reserved work are separate and can be arranged through an appropriately licensed partner professional or cooperating office when requested or necessary.
Syria's Arbitration Law No. 4 of 2008 provides a modern framework for commercial arbitration, and Syria ratified the New York Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in 1959. The Damascus Chamber of Commerce operates an arbitration center for domestic commercial disputes. CounselO provides expert representation across all aspects of arbitration and dispute resolution in Syria: domestic commercial arbitration, international arbitration, mediation, award enforcement, and cross-border disputes. Online consultation available via WhatsApp or email within a target 24-hour response window, subject to scope, urgency, completeness and availability.

Trust and transparency
Clear information about experience, service delivery, confidentiality, and representation scope before a consultation begins.
CounselO was founded and is led by Lawyer and Legal Counsel Omar Al-Baghdadi, with 30+ years of legal practice.
CounselO states that its team has handled 20,000+ legal matters and consultations across multiple practice areas.
If a Syrian matter requires court representation, filing or attendance, CounselO can arrange a separate engagement through an appropriately licensed Syrian partner professional or cooperating office.
Legal consultations and document review are available in both Arabic and English.
Client information and legal documents are treated as confidential, and only information needed to assess the matter is requested.
A consultation alone does not create a court-representation mandate; representation requires a separate agreement defining the work.
Jurisdiction disclosure
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.
The consultation is provided through CounselO's legal team under the professional direction of Lawyer and Legal Counsel Omar Al-Baghdadi.
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 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.
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.

Experience you can examine
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.
