In Syria, SRDB has established partnerships with Mr Osama Karawani in Damascus and Mr George Bassous in Latakia — both members of the SRDB Worldwide Network.
After more than a decade of war, and with new economic prospects following the regime change in 2024, SRDB has restored and strengthened its presence in Syria, with Mr George Bassous becoming the Managing Partner of SRDB in the country.
The new phase of Syria’s economic reconstruction, driven by political reforms and renewed investment-led growth, has created a need for expertise in both Syrian law and international investment law.
SRDB’s ability to advise and assist clients — from its offices in Beirut, Damascus, and Latakia, as well as from its French offices — represents a major asset for foreign companies and investors wishing to take part in Syria’s reconstruction.
The easing — and potentially the upcoming lifting — of sanctions, together with the restoration of ties with the international community, particularly the Gulf countries, are expected to create favorable conditions for trade and capital inflows.
Priority sectors identified include agriculture, textiles and light manufacturing, tourism, and the oil and gas industries.
With growing stability and the strengthening of regional partnerships, these sectors could offer long-term growth opportunities for investors seeking to engage in the early stages of Syria’s economic revival.
SRDB’s strength in Syria lies in the experience of Mr Bassous and Mr Karawani, who have been the trusted legal advisors of international clients for over thirty years — helping them establish, develop, and secure their businesses and investments within an evolving Syrian legal environment.
SRDB positions itself as the preferred partner for foreign companies participating in Syria’s reconstruction.
