Practice Areas
Legal services in Iran, across every major field
Iran Legal is a full-service law firm. Below is an overview of the principal areas in which we advise businesses and individuals.
Corporate Law
Practical corporate counsel for businesses at every stage, from forming a company in Iran to governance, restructuring and transactions.
Every business decision has a legal dimension. Our corporate lawyers advise founders, shareholders, boards and international investors on the legal framework that governs companies in Iran, helping them structure their affairs correctly from the outset and manage change with confidence.
Debt Collection
Firm, measured action to recover unpaid commercial debts in Iran, for Iranian and international creditors alike.
Unpaid invoices affect cash flow and business relationships. Our debt collection practice helps creditors recover outstanding sums from debtors in Iran, using the most effective route for each case, from a carefully worded demand letter to court proceedings and enforcement.
Contracts & Commercial
Clear, balanced agreements that protect your interests and reduce the risk of future disputes.
A well-drafted contract sets clear expectations, allocates risk fairly and gives each party a reliable route if something goes wrong. Our commercial lawyers draft, review and negotiate agreements for businesses trading in and with Iran, with close attention to how each clause will operate in practice.
Litigation & Arbitration
Careful preparation and determined representation in civil and commercial disputes.
When a dispute cannot be settled by agreement, our litigation lawyers represent clients before the competent courts in Iran and in arbitration proceedings. We act for claimants and defendants in commercial, contractual, corporate, property and civil disputes.
Foreign Investment
Guidance for international companies and investors establishing and operating a presence in Iran.
International companies considering Iran need a clear understanding of the legal landscape before they commit time and capital. Our lawyers advise foreign investors on the options available for doing business in Iran, the steps involved in each and the practical considerations that affect day-to-day operations.
Real Estate
We advise buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and developers on property matters in Iran. Our work includes reviewing and preparing sale and purchase agreements, commercial and residential leases, due diligence on title and registration, and the resolution of property disputes.
For businesses, we assist with leasing offices, warehouses and industrial premises, and with the property aspects of corporate transactions.
Employment
Our employment lawyers advise employers and employees on employment contracts, workplace policies, the hiring of local and foreign staff, and the resolution of labour disputes.
We help businesses establish compliant employment arrangements from the outset, and we provide practical guidance when difficulties arise, including on disciplinary matters and the termination of employment.
Intellectual Property
We help businesses protect the value of their brands, inventions and designs in Iran. Our work covers the registration of trademarks, patents and industrial designs, the recording of licences and assignments, and action against infringement.
Intellectual property questions often arise alongside commercial agreements, such as licensing and distribution, and we advise on both together.
Family & Private Client
We provide discreet, sensitive counsel to individuals and families on personal legal matters, including marriage and divorce, inheritance and succession, wills and the administration of estates.
We understand that these matters are deeply personal, and we handle them with the confidentiality and care they deserve.
