Our approach
How we approach your matter
Arbitration outcomes are decided in the memorials — not the hearing. We invest heavily in written case construction, expert coordination, and evidentiary architecture from the earliest phase.
Enforcement in Egypt requires forward planning: how an award will be recognized and executed against Egyptian assets must be built into the case strategy, not left as an afterthought.
- 01
Case theory
Define the narrative, legal grounds, and quantum theory before drafting begins.
- 02
Evidence build
Documentary, factual, and expert evidence assembled to the standard the tribunal will apply.
- 03
Advocate
Written and oral advocacy led by senior counsel with international arbitration experience.
- 04
Enforce
Recognition and enforcement in Egypt, including asset tracing and coordination with foreign counsel.
From our experience
Situations we're often brought in on
- Represented a claimant in an ICC arbitration seated abroad, recovering material damages against a state-linked counterparty.
- Defended a contractor in a construction arbitration under FIDIC terms, substantially narrowing the claimed exposure.
- Enforced a foreign arbitral award in Egypt against local assets after defeating challenge proceedings.
