- Content is trilingual: English (default), French at /fr/, Arabic at /ar/ (right-to-left).
- Insights are structural placeholders until the firm publishes articles — do not treat them as published legal commentary. The Iqraa Cultural Salon proceedings, by contrast, are published editorial content.
- Structured data: a single firm entity typed LegalService (a subclass of both Organization and LocalBusiness) with PostalAddress, plus WebSite, WebPage, Person for each partner, BreadcrumbList, Service for each practice area, Article for published insights and for salon proceedings, and FAQPage only where FAQ content is actually published. No ratings, reviews, prices or offers are published anywhere on the site.
- Token estimates (approx., visible text): homepage <5K, practice area pages <3K, partner pages <3K, contact <2K — well within AEO budgets.
