Amereller

AMERELLER is an international law firm with comprehensive corporate and commercial law and dispute resolution offerings tailored to the Middle East. More than 60 lawyers work from 9 offices in Europe and the Middle East, advising clients from over 40 countries.

The firm employs a combination of skilled foreign lawyers, often with local language knowledge (Arabic and Farsi), and local attorneys fluent in English or German language. This blend of expertise in multiple jurisdictions is what makes the firm unique.

AMERELLER is known as a go-to firm for transactions in difficult markets including Iraq and Libya. Our lawyers are sensitive to the cultural and legal nuances of conducting business in the Middle East, and are often retained as local counsel on major projects and transactions in the region.

The firm?s multinational client base includes publicly traded companies, international organizations, governments and states, global financial institutions, family-owned businesses, NGOs, SMEs, and entrepreneurs in many sectors and industries.

Our Baghdad office has been established since 2003, being the first international law firm to establish a presence in post-war Iraq. Our Baghdad office is a full-service office advising local and international corporate clients, government authorities as well as non-governmental organizations in all areas of commercial and corporate law. The office is staffed with a team of locally-admitted lawyers, many of which are ranked by the leading international publications as leaders in the Iraqi legal market. We have advised major international companies and IOC's on their entry strategy to Iraq and continue to provide advice on all day-to-day matters. We represent some of the biggest oil and gas service companies operating in Iraq. The Baghdad practice also advises on major transactions in Iraq including project finance, M&A and infrastructure projects. A team of international lawyers supports our local Baghdad team. In addition to legal advice, our team in Iraq has a litigation practice with a remarkable record extending back to the last decade. We also regularly act as Iraqi law experts in foreign courts and international arbitration proceedings. Our Baghdad team often liaises on behalf of our clients with local authorities.
