• The importance of legal advice

Legal consultations constitute a major part of a lawyer’s work. Economic and social transformations have compelled individuals to seek the means that help them make sound decisions in their commercial and social dealings.
The Queen of Sheba, for example, sought consultation from experts, as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an: *“She said, O eminent ones, advise me in my affair. I would not decide a matter until you witness [for] me.”* Similarly, the King of Egypt, when he saw a dream that he could not interpret, sought the assistance of specialists, as mentioned in the verse: *“Interpret my dream for me if you can interpret dreams.”*
It is a mistake to enter into a major commercial transaction or draft a contract involving large sums of money without first consulting a specialized lawyer. The lawyer dedicates time and effort to reviewing and ensuring the accuracy of the clauses, preventing misinterpretation, and safeguarding your rights.
If a lawyer spends time providing you with a legal consultation that gives you a general understanding of your project or case, they will not need to spend additional time later analyzing the details to find the best solutions — unless a complete and well-thought-out plan has been established that helps the person seeking consultation avoid potential disputes or prevent them from escalating.
