Make sustainability your competitive edge.
Fareya Azfar & Araoui LLP is an international arbitration, litigation and private capital boutique founded in 2019 by two former BigLaw practitioners. We act for owner-managed businesses, single-family offices, private investors and commercially exposed principals in high-stakes disputes, cross-border proceedings and complex investment matters.
Our practice model is built for owner-minded clients who are personally invested and commercially decisive, wanting direct access to a partner-only, highly specialised senior judgment.
Integrated Service Delivery
We are a dynamic law firm that believes that lawyers can transcend to a more universal humanistic role. We work as collaborators, trusted counsel, and partners.
Fareya Azfar & Araoui’s work is increasingly cross-practice and multijurisdictional in nature. Almost any problem, legal or otherwise, transcends traditional practice areas and disciplinary silos, and crisscross geographies and jurisdictions. This requires lawyers to collaborate across expertise and organizational boundaries.
We work as collaborators, trusted counsel, and partners.
We believe that no matter the venture, transaction or dispute, legal awareness means smarter decisions and fewer conflicts. Our law firm is breaking law firms image as giant silo operating outside the community to individual advisors of law integral to the attainment of the clients' corporate, social and economic goals.
From Call of Last Resort to First Point of Contact
To change the client experience - from anxiety to relief, from ignorance to awareness, from being their service provider of last resort, to becoming the first people they call.
Connection
We try to understand what really worries the client, how their business works, the risks it is willing or forced to assume and what problems the client hopes legal solutions will resolve, even if they do not verbalise them.
Competitiveness
Leverage our exposure to the broader industry, benefit from insights on standard market terms, emerging deal structures, judicial trends, and competitor moves.
Velocity
In high-stakes legal scenarios, perfect prose is a luxury; extreme velocity is a weapon.

Services for Growing Teams
A true boutique law firm; lean and focused on two core areas of practice: Private Capital and International Disputes.
Our firm litigates complex disputes covering a myriad of issues relating to corporate management and operations, governance issues, the disputed direction of the company, directors’ compensation, suppression of the rights of minority owners, buyouts, breaches of contracts and fiduciary duty, and fraudulent activities.
We focus on specific types and aspects of private capital-raising transactions, including venture capital and private equity funds, direct deals, angel start-up financing, and alternative investment structures for privately held companies.
Community and Sustainability
From technology providers to consultancies, Gentle Roots collaborates with organisations that believe business can be profitable and regenerative.
Qualified, upto date on legal affairs , always available and keen to discuss matters in detail...
One key aspect of her legal qualities, I found, is that she seems to be willing to tackle all issues n queries head on and with an intelligent systematic and rational approach.

For the first time, we have a sustainability story that aligns with our actions and stands up to tough questions from clients.
Gentle Roots helped clarify sustainability messaging and align it with updated targets and reporting.
