Company formation and foreign investment in Syria

What we cover in Syria

Syrian investment review considers the proposed project, investment licence, land or premises, financing and sector approvals. The operative investment framework and implementing decisions must be checked against the project date, especially where an application, refusal or amendment is already pending.

• Investor registration and activity approvals

  We assess the investor, proposed activity and existing approvals to identify registration steps, supporting documents and sector permissions before preparing the application package.

• Company, branch and joint-venture structures

  We compare control, liability, operations and exit priorities across the proposed structures and prepare a legal options assessment and the agreed formation documents.

• Ownership and partner arrangements

  We review beneficial ownership, funding, voting and transfer restrictions, then draft partner terms that address management, profits, deadlock and exit.

• Regulatory decisions and investment disputes

  We examine the approval history, authority decision, investment agreement and notices to assess an objection, negotiation or dispute route and prepare the supporting legal position.

• Funding, exit and cross-border coordination

  We review financing terms, transfer obligations and exit conditions, identify country-specific approvals and prepare transaction documents and a coordinated closing checklist.
