The Legal 500

Syria > Legal market overview

Many of Syria’s law firms reported positive growth the first quarter of 2011, buoyed by good access to liquidity across the Middle East region as a whole. However, the onset of the Arab Spring brought investment to a halt and severely impacted second quarter results, while the collapse of the country’s vital tourism industry wiped almost $5bn off Syria’s annual revenues. Firms with a strong leaning towards international work have been the most adversely affected, but fortunately very few firms are completely foreign focused. Notably, Al-Ahmar & Partners, in association with Amereller Rechtsanwälte is the only firm to maintain a formal association in Syria.
