Financial Services & Fintech
Financial services clients require legal counsel that combines regulatory rigor with commercial agility, particularly in fintech, licensing, and investment.
Where we focus
What we handle in this sector
- Fintech licensing and regulatory strategy
- Investment, structuring, and transaction support
- Contracts, partnerships, and technology agreements
- Disputes, enforcement, and investigations
Our understanding
The landscape, as we read it.
The CBE and FRA are actively shaping what payments, lending, and digital finance can look like in Egypt. Being early to a licence is often the commercial advantage — and it is a legal execution problem.
Fintech contracts and partnerships need to survive both a regulator's review and a downside scenario with a payments partner. We draft to both tests.
Methodology of work
Four steps, one discipline.
01
Understand
We invest early in the client's operating reality — the assets, counterparties, regulators, and commercial pressures that define the matter.
02
Structure
We design the legal position — contracts, permits, disputes framing — around how the sector actually operates in Egypt.
03
Execute
Senior lawyers drive negotiation, filings, and advocacy with a single partner accountable end-to-end.
04
Sustain
We build the continuity — monitoring, compliance, and enforcement — that keeps the outcome intact as the business evolves.
