Litigation
We represent clients at all stages of litigation, from the preparation and service of legal notices and responses through the initiation, conduct and enforcement of civil and criminal proceedings in urgent, commercial, financial, lease, real estate, taxation, labor, criminal matters as well as enforcement proceedings.
By way of example, we have represented a client in vigorously contested, multi-jurisdictional litigation in coordination with a UK-based law firm. We represented the successful plaintiff in related Lebanese proceedings, including proceedings for recognition and enforcement of English court judgments and in connection with interim injunctions. The proceedings were conducted at all levels of the Lebanese courts from the Court of First Instance through to the Court of Cassation. Experts were instructed and evidence covered issues including de facto/shadow directorships, the management and ownership of Lebanese companies, sovereign immunity, exequatur and enforcement treaties, banking secrecy, confidentiality, the rights and duties of shareholders in Lebanese companies.
