Cross-border reach is delivered through strategic partnerships with globally renowned law firms and networks, with explicit emphasis on Lebanon, the GCC, and other global jurisdictions.

Tyan & Zgheib operates a traditional professional services business model with revenue generated through legal fees (hourly or fixed-fee arrangements typical of law firms). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales built on long-tenured relationships, partner-led business development, academic affiliations, and referral flow through international law firm networks. No proprietary technology platforms, software products, or AI tooling are disclosed; service delivery is human-led across the partner, counsel, associate, and junior associate tiers.
