Working with the office
Living outside Lebanon does not prevent an initial discussion with the office. Begin with a brief explanation, the location of the parties and any approaching deadline. The office then identifies the documents to review and any power of attorney, original document or other formality needed for the proposed work.
Remote coordination is not a promise that every procedure can be completed online. Where another country’s domestic law or proceedings are involved, the need for appropriately licensed counsel in that jurisdiction is considered separately.
Begin with a concise summary, the parties’ names and locations, the result you seek and a list of the documents available. The office checks whether it can accept the matter, including any potential conflict of interest, before agreeing a detailed review. That review identifies the relevant facts, evidence, competent authority, possible steps and uncertainties.
Mention any hearing, summons, notice, appeal period or enforcement measure at the outset, including when a document was received or served. A deadline can determine which options remain available. Sending an enquiry does not suspend a deadline or confirm that the office has accepted responsibility for taking action; any urgent assignment must be expressly agreed.
At the start of the engagement, clarify who is responsible for the legal work, who will be your main contact and how important developments and decisions will be communicated. Agree the working language, the contact channel and when updates are appropriate for the stage of the matter.
Where a colleague, expert or lawyer in another jurisdiction is needed, their role, the coordination arrangements and any related costs should be clarified. The engagement should also identify which documents, instructions or approvals are needed from you and who is responsible for each agreed next step.
The first step is to identify what requires protection and whether there is a deadline. The documents are then reviewed so the proposed work can be defined: an assessment, a formal notice, contract drafting, negotiations, proceedings or enforcement.
The office confirms whether it can assist and agrees the scope and fees before undertaking work. The engagement should record the work included, any exclusions, payment stages and how additional work will be authorised. Professional fees are distinguished from court charges, translation, expert fees and other anticipated expenses, with the basis for those expenses clarified before work starts.
For an initial enquiry, provide a short summary, the parties’ names and locations, the outcome sought, any deadline and the documents available. Do not send passwords, access codes or highly sensitive material before the communication channel has been confirmed.
A commercial dispute may depend on electronic correspondence. A property or payment dispute may involve a party living abroad. An online transaction may raise questions about both the contract and the court able to hear the claim.
The practice examines these questions together where they arise: jurisdiction, applicable law, available evidence, interim relief, liability and enforcement.
