In our dealings with CLS, we noticed that lawyers of CLS always adopt a solutions-oriented approach. Just a quick note to express our appreciation for their knowledgeable, excellent expert advice and empathetic manner to obtaining successful results. We were impressed significantly with the way CLS lawyers handled our transactions, cases and claims. Lawyers always explained everything very clearly and concisely, and were very professional in their approach and dealings. We were very pleased with all their efforts and delighted with the outcome achieved. We would definitely recommend the services of CLS as they deliver beyond expectations and lawyers not only professional but also approachable.


CLIENT:
COMPANY/FIRM: HGC-GROUP MMC, a major cement manufacturer
TESTIMONIAL: Good work and diligence are undoubtedly one of the main features of the CLS which was reflected in the quality legal and business advice, problem-solving and negotiations. One of the best law firms in Azerbaijan, in particular when comparing both quality and fees. We are very happy with the excellent advice provided about our projects, transactions and cases. We were always kept up to date and received immediate responses to our queries. Lawyers of CLS got us a great result and the service was excellent. You can talk business with them easily. They are good team players and they also go out of their way to deal with unexpected demands and changing circumstances of the business. This has meant a lot to us and we are really grateful to them for their endless affords and constant attention.


CLIENT:
COMPANY/FIRM: E-Medicine
TESTIMONIAL: CLS team is very responsive, co-operative and creative. We’ll always be happy to recommend the firm to our contacts without hesitation. They represent a real value for money. The insights from the firm are practical, commercially astute and legally strong while at the same time flexible to incorporate inputs from all parties to enable deal closures. Through our close work with CLS, we came to the conclusion that CLS has a solid, formidable, highly reliable and competent team. Their lawyers are savvy in multi-jurisdictional and high value complex structures. A further strength is the team’s ability to converse fluently in several foreign languages and outstanding educational background which amply position the team on the regional stage in terms of deliverables and value outcomes.


CLIENT:
COMPANY/FIRM: Qatar Airways
TESTIMONIAL: CLS lawyers have an in-depth knowledge of local and international business law and business practices . They are always available to me at the right time and with the right advice. As the CEO of the company, I really appreciate CLS’s legal input and would find my job increasingly difficult without them. There are very few law firms and lawyers who can be reached easily 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and deliver quality work and outcome. CLS lawyers’ insights are practical, commercially astute and legally dependable.

Diversity


Capital Legal Services LLC is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to creating and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace environment. The CLS defines Diversity to mean the differences in culture, background and experiences that each person brings to the workplace, including differences in race, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, and expression, education, job responsibility and family status and the impact of these differences on individual performance as well as organizational culture, goals and effectiveness.

We value the differences of each person in the Firm, and respect the different ideas, thoughts, and perspectives each person brings to the Firm as a result of having diverse backgrounds, education, life experiences, and skills.

We believe that embracing these differences results in a more inclusive, positive and productive work atmosphere and enhances the Firm’s ability to better serve its clients at different levels.

CLS’s culture is grounded on the principals of excellence in quality, diversity and inclusiveness.

We have brought together at the firm lawyers of different backgrounds, skills, and experiences because we recognize that those individuals bring with them a diversity of ideas, approaches and perspective that enriches the CLS’s culture and enhances the quality of our work. For example, CLS has equal gender distribution among its administrative and legal staff. Furthermore, CLS is a unique law firm that employees with disabilities and one of the internationally famous visually impaired lawyers, Mr Elnur Eyvazov, currently, works at CLS as a Senior Associate. This example shows that we are committed not only to the diversity but also to social responsibility.

We are committed to fostering an environment in which diversity of every type can flourish and in which every lawyer is positioned to thrive and a client is positioned to benefit from this diverse and inclusive environment.

Finally, we also actively take part in pro bono projects. As part of our future initiatives, we will represent some disability organizations to fight discrimination against those with disabilities. We are also planning to organize free legal support to start-ups and young entrepreneurs operating in Azerbaijan.
