FAWAZ LAWFIRM has been advising individuals and businesses across Erbil and the Kurdistan Region since 2016. Over nine years we have grown into a five-lawyer team handling matters that range from a straightforward contract review to complex commercial disputes and criminal defence.
We work in Kurdish, Arabic, and English, and we take on the paperwork so our clients can get back to their lives and businesses. Every matter is opened by a named lawyer who stays with the file from the first call through to the last court date — no handing you off, no losing the thread.
We act for foreign companies establishing in Kurdistan, families managing property and inheritance, and individuals in criminal or civil proceedings. If we are not the right firm for what you need, we will say so and point you somewhere that is.
Every matter is handled by a named partner, never a faceless hand-off.

Kurdish, Arabic, and English. Court filings and contracts are prepared in the language the matter requires.
