Dr Behrooz Akhlaghi & Associates is a well-established Iranian firm. Competitors highlight name partner Behrooz Akhlaghi, the managing partner, as a vastly experienced Iranian lawyer and say he is visible on the market. "Behrooz Akhlaghi is the grandee of Iranian law and he is still very active," remarks one peer.
Akhlaghi receives strong client feedback for his depth and breadth of knowledge: "He's very good with the law, both Iranian and international. He's very good at making suggestions for solutions rather than getting more litigious," says one client.
Another considers Akhlaghi to be an excellent rapport builder: "We've got a very good relationship both a personal and professional level. Dr Akhlaghi is very easy to get along with and very pleasant over dinner and socially."
International clients are also quick to note that there are no issues over language barriers with the firm: "Email responses are very quick, within 24 hours. Give that Iranian's speak Farsi or Persian their English is excellent, any documents that require translation are done almost immediately," says one client.
The firm notes a drop in transactional work in line with the country but has been active for the World Bank providing a survey on business activity in Iran.
