Commercial Law

Commercial Law serves as the economy’s backbone. At Zakarneh Law Firm, we provide solutions that match the speed of business and protect credit.

Legal Framework

We rely on Jordanian Trade Law No. 12 of 1966, Insolvency Law No. 21 of 2018, and Electronic Transactions Law.



Key Areas of Practice

  1. Merchants & Commercial Acts: Defining trader obligations like bookkeeping and registration, distinguishing commercial acts from civil ones.

  2. Commercial Papers: Handling payment instruments like Bills of Exchange and Cheques, addressing issues of issuance, endorsement, and limitation periods.

  3. Commercial Contracts: Regulating commercial agency, brokerage, and transport relationships to secure distribution rights and commissions.

  4. Insolvency & Reorganization: Managing corporate financial distress through insolvency plans to restructure rather than liquidate immediately.

  5. Business Concerns: Protecting the trade name and business assets, including goodwill and client connections.



What We Can Do for You

  • Commercial Paper Litigation: recovering values of cheques and promissory notes and defending in bad cheque cases.

  • Contract Drafting: Preparing robust distribution, agency, and transport agreements.

  • Insolvency: Representing creditors or distressed companies in financial reorganization proceedings.

  • Dispute Resolution: Litigating commercial contract disputes between businesses.


At Zakarneh Law Firm, our approach combines extensive legal knowledge with a practical understanding of the Jordanian society and business environment. We ensure every client receives personalized, precise, and effective legal assistance tailored to their unique needs.
