About

Provided by Shehata & Partners

Our Litigation group operates primarily within two teams: Arabic litigators and bilingual litigators. Our Arabic litigators handle a wide range of corporate/commercial-related litigation for all our local clients. Our bilingual litigators, who are fluent in English and Arabic, represent foreign clients on any dispute that may result from their activities in Egypt. Over the past 12 months, our litigation team has won 12 cases and reached a favorable settlement for a client, with a total dispute value amounting to over USD 30 million. Our clients include BNP Paribas, Hochdorf, responsAbility Fund, Omaz, Tatweer Misr, and Hoogwegt. 


The expertise of our litigation and arbitration teams converges when handling any litigation matters related to arbitration, including annulments, enforcements, and any related procedural matters. We take a unique strategic approach to handling these types of proceedings, an example of which can be found on our case studies page on our website.

 

We maintain a client-centric and business-minded approach to all our legal services by staying ahead of the rapidly evolving landscapes of our clients’ sectors. Our disputes team is one of the leading law firms in real estate & construction disputes as well as banking & finance disputes. Additionally, we aim to maintain the highest client satisfaction rate in the market by consistently communicating with our clients to understand how we can best adapt our services to exceed their needs and expectations.
