Real Estate & Projects
Real Estate & Construction Lawyers in Egypt
Acting for developers, buyers, and contractors across Egypt's full real estate cycle.
We advise on both sides of Egypt's real estate market — developers structuring, licensing, and selling their projects; buyers and investors acquiring and protecting their units; and the contractors who build them — from due diligence and documentation through delivery and dispute.

When to involve us
When you might need us
A developer preparing a land acquisition, a project launch, or off-plan sales documentation
A buyer about to sign an off-plan or resale contract — or one where things have already gone wrong
A contractor or consultant facing variations, delay, or payment disputes on a project
Tell us where things stand — we'll take it from there.
Our approach
How we approach your matter
We act on both sides of this market — for developers structuring and selling projects, and for the buyers and investors acquiring in them. Each side engages us for the same reason: we know exactly how the other side's documents are built, where they bend, and where they break.
Real estate in Egypt turns on registration and paper: ownership passes by registration, not by signature, and the off-plan market runs on developer standard forms. Small early gaps — a defective title chain, an unread clause, a missing permit condition — become the largest exposures at delivery.
Construction disputes are engineering problems with legal consequences. We work alongside technical experts to keep the legal case grounded in what actually happened on site.
- 01
Assess
We begin with a disciplined intake — mapping facts, exposures, counterparties, and the commercial objective before any legal position is taken.
- 02
Structure
We design the legal architecture — instruments, protections, and sequencing — to align with the client's commercial and regulatory reality.
- 03
Execute
We drive negotiation, drafting, filings, or advocacy with senior involvement on every substantive point — no delegation of judgment.
- 04
Protect
We close the loop — enforcement, monitoring, and continuity — so the outcome holds under commercial and legal pressure.
From our experience
Situations we're often brought in on
- Advised on a mixed-use development structuring covering land aggregation, phasing, and off-plan sales framework.
- Led a construction claim recovery under a FIDIC-style contract for a regional contractor.
- Structured a portfolio leasing program for a national retail operator, standardizing terms across dozens of sites.
