What we say about the firm's legal practice in Iran
Corporate and M&A
Within Corporate and M&A, Tavakoli & Shahabi is a first tier firm,
Tavakoli & Shahabi is lauded by clients as a premier, full-service commercial law firm in Iran, maintaining its reputation among clients for ‘astute analysis’ and the provision of ‘prompt, sensible and commercial’ advice. The firm boasts a diverse, multi-lingual team with experience spanning both common and civil legal systems as well as a client service level comparable with more developed jurisdictions. The combination of long serving, high profile practitioners and younger rising stars such as Cyrus Shafizedeh is highly regarded by clients. The firm’s most recent highlights include performing extensive due diligence on a telecommunications operator in Iran on behalf of international financiers and representing a foreign oil company in relation to a buyback agreement with a state-owned Iranian company. The firm has also advised on fresh acquisitions in the manufacturing, mining, and railway sectors.
Legal market
Within Legal market,
Though dominated by a generalist, sole practitioner model of practice, Iran’s small corporate and commercial legal market offers clients a diverse, if limited choice of service providers. The market is composed of a vanguard of internationally-styled law firms, including market leader Tavakoli & Shahabi, as well as a selection of experienced and capable individual practitioners supported by associate teams. Though clients argue the jurisdiction can sometimes seem opaque, with legal realities often relying heavily on interpretation and deal-making rather than a black and white reading of the law, the market does hold the requisite legal talent to avert these risks.
