Background
Ghazal Alsharif advises on civil and commercial matters that move between courtroom and counsel-room. Her work at the firm covers the litigation of contractual disputes, debt-recovery actions, and commercial claims before the Jordanian courts, alongside the advisory work that supports corporate clients on the documentation, contractual frameworks, and regulatory questions that arise across the lifecycle of a commercial relationship.
Her practice carries a marked private-international-law orientation, shaped by the academic emphasis of her legal training and developed in the firm's wider work for international clients whose matters touch the Jordanian forum. She contributes to the firm's analysis of conflict-of-laws questions, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, and the documentation of cross-border commercial relationships that engage Jordanian law alongside the law of a foreign jurisdiction.
She is admitted to the Jordanian Bar Association, the profession's regulator established under Jordanian Bar Association Law No. 11 of 1972.
Education and Qualifications
Ghazal holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Jordan, Faculty of Law, in Amman. Her selected coursework spans the principal subjects of Jordanian private and public law, with concentrations in private international law and conflict of laws, evidence in civil law, civil law, public international law, contract law, maritime commercial law, intellectual property law, commercial and banking transactions, commercial law, civil procedure, and constitutional law.
Her published research includes papers on medical errors under Jordanian legislation, examining the legal framework that governs professional liability in the medical context, and on the prescription of penalty execution, addressing the time-limit framework that applies to the enforcement of criminal penalties under Jordanian law. She is admitted to the Jordanian Bar Association.
Practice Focus
Ghazal's practice focuses on three connected areas. The first is civil and commercial litigation: representation in contractual disputes, debt-recovery proceedings, commercial claims, and the procedural questions that arise across the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal, and, where the matter requires, the Court of Cassation.
The second is corporate and commercial advisory work: contract drafting and review, transactional documentation, regulatory questions arising for clients with operations in the Jordanian market, and the day-to-day commercial questions that ongoing client relationships generate. The third is private international law and the conflict-of-laws questions that arise when a Jordanian matter has a foreign element, including the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, the analysis of applicable law in cross-border contracts, and the procedural treatment of foreign-law questions before the Jordanian courts.
