A dispute that lands in the wrong forum, or a judgment that was never properly enforced, can cost more than the underlying claim. Choosing between Lebanese courts and international arbitration — and structuring the dispute-resolution clause correctly before a conflict ever arises — determines whether a favorable outcome is actually collectible.
Jurdi & Co represents businesses, individuals, and international entities in disputes before the Lebanese judicial system and in domestic and international arbitration, from Downtown Beirut.
Litigation Before the Lebanese Courts
We represent clients through every level of the Lebanese court system — First Instance Courts, the Courts of Appeal, and the Court of Cassation — as well as military tribunals and specialized commercial, labor, banking, and real estate courts. That covers civil claims, commercial disputes, criminal defense, and regulatory enforcement actions, from initial filing through appeal.
International & Domestic Arbitration
We represent clients in arbitration under ICC, UNCITRAL, LCIA, DIAC, and DIFC-LCIA rules, and in ad hoc proceedings — commercial contract disputes, corporate and shareholder conflicts, and industry-specific matters in media, transportation, energy, and technology. Because Lebanon is a signatory to the New York Convention, we handle enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Lebanon and Lebanese awards abroad as a distinct workstream, not an afterthought once an award is already in hand.
Dispute-Resolution Strategy
Before a dispute reaches a tribunal, we run pre-arbitration risk assessments and structure dispute-resolution clauses so that jurisdiction, seat, and enforceability are settled at the contract stage — not argued over after the fact — and we guide settlement negotiations where resolving outside a tribunal serves the client better than proceeding to judgment.
In Practice
Jurdi & Co represents clients in Lebanese courts at every level and in arbitration under the major institutional rules, with a particular focus on enforcement — making sure a favorable judgment or award is actually collectible, not just obtained.
The practice operates in Arabic, French, and English, and its Downtown Beirut office is close to Lebanon's main courthouses and judicial institutions.
