CounselO helps individuals and businesses understand cyber & it law 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 cybercrime framework is primarily governed by Legislative Decree No. 17 of 2012 on Cybercrime, which establishes criminal offenses and penalties for unauthorized access, online fraud, data breaches, and digital defamation. At CounselO, our cyber and IT law practice covers the full spectrum: cybercrime defense under Legislative Decree No. 17/2012, online fraud cases, IT contract disputes, and digital evidence handling. Online consultations available via WhatsApp or email — essential when cybercrime investigations move fast.

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.

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.

View work sampleThis 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.

View work sampleThis 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.
