Foreign Companies Entering Iraq
Companies establishing a legal presence — from incorporation to full regulatory compliance.
Six Millennia of Commerce. One Gate In.

Why Tigris Gate
Three things make us different from a traditional law firm or consulting practice.
Cross-Disciplinary
Lawyers, engineers, and digital specialists — under one roof. Iraqi business reality needs all three.
Iraq-Native
Our team is rooted in Baghdad. We know the law as practiced, not only as written — and we translate that fluency into clarity for our partners abroad.
Relationship-First
We do not sell packaged products. Each engagement begins with a conversation about your situation.
Why Tigris Gate?
Six thousand years ago, the world's first commercial contracts were written here — in cuneiform, on clay tablets, between strangers who needed to trust each other across distance and language.
The land has changed names many times since.
The need has not.
