Description of a Law Firm Ghina Mawas Date: 30-11-2013 My husband is attorney at law, as I’m, so we founded together, since 1996, our law firm. When our work developed, partners joined us and we divided our job to four departments in the following form: -The first one is with a focus on commercial issues. This department contains four efficient members, three of them do a specific work such as: making commercial contracts, following court cases or trying to settle disagreement before attending court. This group work under the supervision of Mr. Tarek, legal contractual in the firm, who has a unique experience in commercial trade, so he can manage and advise rightly his team. -The second department is with a focus on penal cases. Mr. Fouad chose to work as a solicitor and Jamil as a barrister. Actually both are critical members. They are brave, curious and nimble-minded. In most cases, they succeed in finding the conclusive evidence rendering to win the case. -The third is with a focus on the civil department and it is my favorite one. I work with a great anti competitive members. Randa, one of my colleagues, is over qualified and a knowledge seeker, a PHD holder, graduate from Harvard. I’m enjoying working with her, especially in international civil issues. Actually, Randa had others opportunities to work in better position outside Lebanon, instead of working with us, but she preferred to serve her country more than finding personnel benefit. Others members in this department just got the prating licenses and are doing internship. I always tried to enhance their skills and potentials. -The last department is the one directed by my husband. He’s the one who meets clients, distribute work and associate everyone in the firm. He convenes every week all members to review with them how work is going. Finally, the secretary in our firm does a very important job. She sets all kinds of appointments, and prepares daily schedule for ongoing cases. She’s a very energetic and savvy employee . She always achieves her obligations on time. I’m so lucky and proud to work in a such organized firm with a lovely respectable team.
