Corporate legal services in detail
Contract review and drafting
In contract review and drafting before signing, sale, contracting, supply, agency, service, and cooperation agreements are reviewed for obligations, penalty clauses, termination, and dispute resolution, and terms are drafted to fit the transaction.
Commercial disputes
Reviewing documents and correspondence, analysing the company's legal position, and pursuing claims or defence in disputes arising from contracts, commercial instruments, and business relationships — in court, through negotiation, or in arbitration.
Large property and construction projects
Legal support on a construction partnership agreement, pre-sale, contracting, and property sale agreements; review of title and documents; and follow-through on disputes between investors, owners, developers, and contractors.
Arbitration
Drafting arbitration clauses, support during arbitration proceedings, and follow-through on matters related to the award; Hossein Ahmadi is a member of the Association of Professional Arbitrators.
Share and partnership deals
Review and drafting of share and partnership-interest transfer agreements, shareholder agreements, and partnership contracts; and explaining each party's rights and obligations before the deal.
How does an annual legal retainer work?
With an annual retainer, instead of engaging a lawyer case by case, the company works with counsel on an ongoing basis for a set period so that legal questions and documents are reviewed as business happens.
The scope of services, communication, and terms are agreed after understanding the company's activity and needs, and are set out in a written agreement. Litigation and arbitration may be agreed separately.

Corporate legal services FAQ
How is an annual retainer different from per-matter advice?
With per-matter advice, each issue is raised and reviewed separately. With an annual retainer, the engagement continues for a set period with an agreed scope, so the company's legal matters are reviewed as they arise.
How is the scope of an annual retainer set?
After understanding the company's activity, current contracts, and legal needs, the scope and communication are agreed and set out in writing.
Are contracts reviewed before signing?
Yes. Pre-signing contract review is a core part of corporate services, so obligations, risks, and dispute-resolution clauses are clear before any commitment.
Can contract disputes be pursued through arbitration?
Yes. If the contract has an arbitration clause or the parties agree to arbitrate, the matter can be pursued through arbitration. The right path is determined after reviewing the contract and documents.
