Baroudi & Associates is one of Lebanon’s oldest and most prominent law firms, with a legacy since 1912. Our Corporate & Commercial Department remains central to the firm’s success, advising leading local and international clients including multinational corporations and private equity firms across Lebanon.

We offer full-spectrum services across the business lifecycle, company formation, structuring, M&A, joint ventures, commercial contracts, shareholder agreements, agency/distribution, private placements, and compliance. We frequently advise on cross-border matters involving multi-jurisdictional due diligence and coordination with global counsel.

Our lawyers are experienced in regulated sectors such as aviation, maritime, insurance, telecom, infrastructure, and banking, and regularly advise on licensing and compliance. Clients trust us with high-value, time-sensitive deals, from market entry to exits.

Since Lebanon’s financial crisis, we have seen growth in advisory work on banking restrictions, FX rules, capital controls, and tax risks.

We are also recognized for contract negotiation, regulatory strategy, and dispute avoidance. Many clients have worked with us for decades, valuing our consistency, discretion, and responsiveness in sensitive matters. The team blends senior expertise and rising talent, supported by a collaborative culture. We also contribute to global legal publications and forums, and maintain strong international ties.
