Today
A Multidisciplinary Legal Practice

Our International Practice
Our international practice is at the heart of the Firm’s identity.

For more than 25 years, we have assisted foreign companies and investors with establishing and operating their businesses in Egypt, entering into commercial transactions, undertaking major projects, managing regulatory requirements and resolving disputes.

Our clients include multinational corporations, contractors, manufacturers, financial institutions, export credit agencies, embassies, foreign investors and international and regional law firms.

understand that international clients require more than a technical explanation of Egyptian law. They need clear advice on how the law is applied in practice, how Egyptian authorities and courts operate, what risks may arise and what practical steps should be taken to protect their interests.

Accordingly, we aim to bridge the gap between the Egyptian legal and regulatory environment and the commercial expectations of international businesses. We explain complex legal issues in clear language and provide practical recommendations that enable our clients to make informed decisions.
