Who we are
A firm built around the people the law too often overlooks.
Gardhawr Law Firm — Shirkadda Adeegyada Sharci ee Gardhawr — is a Somali legal practice based on Via Roma in the Hamar Weyne district of Mogadishu. We provide legal services to individuals and organisations: acting as counsel, representing clients in court proceedings, and pursuing equal justice for everyone who comes to us.
Alongside our regular practice, we deliver legal aid to low-income families and to people living with disabilities or special needs — because a person's ability to pay should never decide whether their rights are defended.
Gardhawr waa gardhawrkaaga sharciga — we stand between you and an outcome you did not deserve.

How we work
From your first question to the final judgment.
You will always know what stage your matter is at, what happens next, and what it will cost.
01
Consultation
You tell us what happened. We listen carefully, in confidence, and explain in plain language where you stand under the law.
02
Case Assessment
We examine the documents and evidence, identify the legal questions at issue, and give you an honest reading of your options.
03
Strategy
Together we agree the route — negotiation, mediation or litigation — with clear expectations on time, cost and likely outcome.
04
Representation
We file, appear and argue on your behalf, keeping you informed at every hearing rather than leaving you to wonder.
05
Resolution
We see the matter through to judgment or settlement — and make sure the outcome is actually enforced.
