Amrou Sbahi Alaskar

Lawyer · Madrid Bar Association (ICAM)

Born in Aleppo, Syria, Amrou Sbahi Alaskar is a lawyer of the Madrid Bar Association, with over eight years of legal experience. He is the first Spanish lawyer of Syrian origin born in that city to join the Bar.

His practice focuses on advice in international settings: international law, human rights, global mobility and cross-border matters. He knows different legal systems first hand and works in Spanish, Arabic and English.

That multicultural outlook is what migration, international business relations and cross-border disputes now demand.

Joining the Madrid Bar is a very important step in my career. In an increasingly interconnected world, a lawyer needs not only technical knowledge but an international understanding of the law and of social realities. My aim is to contribute to a legal practice that connects different legal cultures and adds value in a global environment.

Maisam Rashel Rengel

Secretary and client service

She is the firm’s secretary: she looks after clients and follows up with them through each stage of their procedures.

She prepares and organises the engagement letters and the documents for each case file, and handles sending, tracking and coordinating them. She also books immigration office (Extranjería) appointments for the various procedures and coordinates the administrative steps they require.

When a client needs it, she goes with them in person to Social Security, the bank or the notary, helping them communicate and acting as interpreter. She also helps translate and explain documents, so that every step of the procedure is understood.

Her role covers secretarial work, client service, administration, coordination and interpreting, always alongside the lawyer in charge of each case.
