Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Commercial disputes are rarely just about the contract. They are about the business behind it.

We handle commercial conflicts ranging from contractual and business disagreements to complex cross-border disputes involving international commodity sales, distribution and commercial agency arrangements. We combine hands-on dispute experience with a practical understanding of our clients' commercial objectives to determine the right path to resolution.

Complex corporate disputes require more than litigation experience.

They require an understanding of the business behind the dispute. Our clients benefit from a unique blend of regional experience and local understanding that enables us to manage all areas of complicated domestic and cross-border corporate disputes. We recognize that commercial and corporate litigation is not always the best option. Therefore, we assist clients in pursuing a variety of resolution options, such as early negotiated settlements and alternative dispute resolution approaches.

When a business problem becomes a criminal matter, experience matters.

We represent companies, executives and individuals in complex economic and white-collar crime matters, including fraud, embezzlement, breach of trust, financial misconduct, cybercrime and regulatory offences. Our lawyers bring hands-on experience in investigating and handling these matters, with first-hand understanding of how economic crime cases develop from the initial investigation and evidence assessment through engagement with enforcement authorities and, where necessary, criminal proceedings and related civil or commercial claims.

Strong competition litigation starts with strong compliance.

Our lawyers bring hands-on experience in complex competition matters and a distinctive track record of significant competition-related disputes. This experience gives us a practical understanding of how competition cases develop, from compliance and regulatory scrutiny to investigation, defence and litigation. For us, strong competition litigation starts with strong compliance. We help businesses understand their competition-law exposure, address potential risks early and build a defensible position when disputes or regulatory challenges arise.

Arbitration does not end with the award.

We represent clients in complex commercial and investment arbitrations, including proceedings before ICSID and other international bodies, and advise on the court proceedings that may follow. Our work includes enforcement and annulment of local and foreign arbitral awards before the Egyptian courts. Our experience across both sides of the arbitral lifecycle allows us to develop a strategy with the outcome, not just the proceedings, in mind.

Employment disputes can quickly become business-critical.

We help clients navigate them with a clear strategy from the outset. We handle individual and collective employment disputes, including dismissal and profit-sharing claims, as well as sensitive matters involving employee fraud and financial misconduct. Where necessary, we conduct internal investigations and pursue or defend related civil and criminal proceedings. Our approach is practical and strategic, resolving disputes where possible and litigating decisively where necessary.

A Track Record Built on Complex Real Estate Matters.

We bring extensive experience in complex real estate disputes, with a strong track record of successfully handling matters involving development projects, construction works, contractual obligations and property rights. Our lawyers combine hands-on dispute experience with a practical understanding of the commercial interests at stake, developing strategies focused on achieving the client's objectives, whether through negotiated resolution or decisive litigation.

Where Intellectual Property Meets Dispute Strategy.

We advise and represent clients in intellectual property matters involving the protection, enforcement and commercial use of their intellectual assets. Our lawyers bring hands-on experience in IP-related disputes, including infringement, ownership and misuse of intellectual property rights, developing practical strategies to protect the client's rights and commercial interests, whether through negotiation, regulatory action or litigation.

Investigation with the next move in mind.

We conduct sensitive internal investigations involving fraud, financial misconduct, employee wrongdoing and regulatory concerns. Our lawyers bring hands-on experience in complex investigations, helping clients establish the facts, assess the evidence and understand the legal and business implications of what they uncover. Where further action is required, we help clients determine the right course, whether disciplinary, civil, criminal or regulatory, and build the appropriate strategy around it.
