Frequently asked questions
Will the opinion give a definitive answer?
Where the documents allow, yes. Where the answer depends on facts not yet established, the opinion says so and identifies what would need to be verified.
Can the opinion be shared with third parties?
That should be agreed in advance, as opinions are prepared for a specific purpose and addressee.
Do you review documents in Arabic and English?
Yes, both.
