Corporate & Commercial

Every business operating in Iraq needs a legal structure that works, one that holds up under Iraqi regulatory scrutiny, supports the commercial objectives of the business, and gives investors and counterparties the confidence to transact. Getting that structure right at the outset is significantly easier than correcting it under pressure later. Our corporate and commercial practice advises multinational corporations, regional investors, and Iraqi businesses on the full spectrum of corporate law in Iraq, from initial market entry and company formation under Iraqi Company Law No. 21 of 1997 through to governance, transactions, and restructuring.
