About us

We are the first Egyptian law firm licensed to operate in the United States of America.

We provide full-scope legal services to US companies, law firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and individuals in all matters pertaining to Egyptian laws and legislation.

As a leading international law firm, we play a pivotal role in communicating between the United States and Egypt through our law office in Egypt and our office in the United States.

We are experienced in litigating before Egyptian courts of all levels, and regional and international arbitration centers. We are also experienced in dispute resolution through direct negotiations, good faith efforts, and mediation, to achieve satisfactory results for our clients.

As an Egyptian law firm accredited by the US courts, our clients, whether companies or individuals residing in the United States, can now complete all of their legal transactions in Egypt through our New York office.

We offer a range of integrated legal services from within the United States. Our clients in the United States can execute contracts with parties residing in Egypt through our office, where we prepare all types of contracts including contracts of sale, leases, and partnership contracts. We also complete all necessary measures to notarize and register contracts. By leveraging our specialized experience in logistics, we can help our clients to create timetables for the implementation of contracts and take all necessary measures for crisis management.

We represent US companies and banks in establishing branches and representative offices in Egypt and provide all information on the Egyptian banking system and borrowing systems involving Egyptian banks or foreign banks operating in Egypt. We specialize in international trade law and Egypt’s investment laws. We also provide our clients with a database of investment opportunities available in Egypt and the facilities offered by the Egyptian General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI).

By leveraging our experience in dealing with all Egyptian government entities, we act on behalf of our clients to obtain all official documents and certificates from Egypt and to have them notarized and certified by any and all embassies and consulates. Our firm is officially accredited by the United States to certify signatures on all documents and statements, and to guide our clients in completing their transactions with all embassies and consulates.

Our firm cooperates with leading US law firms specializing in immigration, investment and consulting offices specializing in preparing feasibility studies for enterprises to be based in the United States.

We provide legal advice to companies, law firms, and individuals at the international level in all aspects of their transactions pertaining to Egyptian laws and agreements regulating international relations in matters related to investment, commercial, banking transactions, contracts, personal affairs and real estate transactions. We study documents, analyze legal situations, and provide legal advice to help our clients to determine their legal positions before taking any official action.

Our firm receives clients at its New York office and you can arrange face-to-face meetings with attorney Joseph Guirguis in any US state and in Canada as well.
