How it works
You stay in Canada. We organize the Iran-side path and keep the responsibilities clear.
Share the essentials
Describe the issue and send the documents you already have.
Initial legal review
We identify scope, jurisdiction, missing documents and a suitable Iran-licensed lawyer.
Authorize the work
If needed, the appropriate power of attorney or verification process is prepared.
Iran-side follow-up
The lawyer pursues the defined work and progress is reported back to you.
Timeframes and outcomes depend on the facts, documents, authority involved and the actions of other parties. A realistic assessment can only follow an initial review.
CLEAR PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES
Focused on the Iran side of the matter
OLAW is not a Canadian law firm and does not provide Canadian legal, immigration or tax advice. Our role is limited to coordinating legal work within Iran with lawyers licensed to practise there.
FOR REFERRING PROFESSIONALS
A separate, defined Iran-side role
If a client raises an Iran-related issue outside your scope, OLAW can arrange an initial review without stepping into Canadian-law advice. Roles, communications and next steps remain clearly separated.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin

Do I need to travel to Iran?+
In many matters, no. A properly prepared power of attorney may allow a lawyer in Iran to act on your behalf. The exact route depends on the matter and documents.
Can OLAW advise on Canadian law or immigration?+
No. Canadian legal, immigration and tax questions must be handled by an appropriately licensed Canadian professional.
Can the initial consultation be in English?+
Yes. The initial review and coordination can be conducted in English or Persian.
Can OLAW guarantee a result or deadline?+
No. Outcomes and timing depend on the evidence, the relevant Iranian authority or court, and the actions of other parties.
