Overview

We are able to provide a one stop service for all your commercial needs inside Iraq, whether they are contentious or non- contentious.

Since commencing the practice, QC has, inter alia, been involved in a number of litigation cases in Baghdad and Basrah before both the civil and criminal courts, and labour courts. We have also been engaged by the UK Government Ministry of Defence on a major public enquiry into certain Iraqi fatalities allegedly involving the British Army (see website http://www.iraq-judicial-investigations.org).

On the non contentious side, we have given advice on Iraqi law (both in Federal Iraq and Kurdistan) including oil and gas issues, ownership of oil under constitutional law, employment law, commercial ventures, leases, agencies & distributorship, corporate set ups, issues under civil law and civil procedures code, criminal law and criminal procedures code, insurance, real estate matters, trade and service contracts. This list is not exhaustive.

As is common in many countries throughout the Middle East, lawyers operate for the most part as sole practitioners. However, QC Law Firm comprises advocates in Iraq, UAE and UK who work together to advise clients on how to invest and operate in Iraq.
