Where to start
Ten reasons people call Haq. Start with the one closest to you
Pick the service closest to the decision or problem in front of you. Each explains when it may fit, what information is useful, and how to start an initial enquiry
Agreements
You will not sign anything we have not read
Send us the draft. We tell you what it really commits you to, where it can hurt you later, and exactly what to change before you sign. In plain Arabic or English, before you have spent anything
A contract is in front of you, or one you already signed has come back on you
We read it the way the other side will read it, and mark every line that can cost you
The draft, anything attached to it, and the date you have to answer by
Agreements
We write it around the deal you actually made
Most disputes come out of what nobody wrote down. We get the assumptions out of your head and into the document, so the agreement still protects you when the relationship is under strain
You have shaken hands on something and want it made real
We turn what you agreed into terms that hold, including what happens if it goes wrong
Who is involved, what you agreed, and anything already in writing between you
Companies
We build the company so it still holds in ten years
Getting registered is the easy part. We set ownership, control and signing authority so the company survives new partners, new money and the arguments nobody plans for
You are starting a company, or bringing someone new into one
We settle who owns it, who runs it and who can sign, and put all three beyond argument
Who is involved, what the business will do, and how you want it run
Employment
We make the decision safe before you take it
Hiring someone, changing a role, ending one: each is a decision that can be challenged later. We check it before you act, so the step you take is the step that holds
You are about to hire, promote, discipline or let someone go
We check what you are allowed to do, and how to do it so it cannot be turned back on you
The contract, whatever workplace rules apply, and what you are planning
Brand
We secure the name you are building everything on
A name you cannot defend is a name you can lose after years of work. We register the mark that actually protects the business, in the classes that matter, before somebody else gets there
You are choosing a name, or you have been trading under one without protecting it
We check the name is free, then register it so it belongs to you
The name or the logo, and what you sell under it
Before you grow
We find what can hurt the business before it does
This is not an audit of everything you own. We look at what you are about to do next, find the legal weak points standing in the way, and tell you which one to fix first
You are about to expand, raise money, or change how the business runs
We find the gaps that could stop your next move, and put them in order
What you want to do next, and your main company papers
When you are owed
Someone owes you. We go and get it
We organise the agreement, invoices, payments, notices and messages before discussing recovery options. Some matters may be resolved without formal proceedings; others may require them
You are owed money and the polite reminders have stopped working
We prove the debt, then press it, in the order most likely to get you paid
Who owes you, how much, and everything you have in writing about it
Property
Nobody takes your money until we know it is safe
Before a deposit leaves your hand we check who really owns it, what is registered against it, and what you are actually signing. It costs a fraction of what the mistake costs
You are about to buy, rent, or put money into property
We check the ownership and the paperwork and tell you plainly whether to go ahead
The property, the seller, and whatever papers you have been shown
Family
We settle it without the family breaking over it
An inheritance question often involves family relationships as well as records and assets. We separate those issues so the immediate legal question and next step are easier to understand
Someone has died, or a family arrangement has to be decided
We work out what each person is owed, and get it done with as little heat as possible
Who is involved, and what has been left
Every week
A lawyer who already knows your business, on the phone
Recurring business questions can be handled with the company context kept together, rather than restarting from zero each time
Legal questions come up most weeks and you have nobody to ask
We stay across the business, so the answer comes back fast and it is right
The kind of questions that keep coming up
Not sure which one
If it crosses more than one of these, just tell us what happened
Say who is involved, what happened and what is coming up. You do not have to sort it into the right category first. That is our job
