Real Estate & Construction
Egypt's real estate and construction market combines high commercial opportunity with regulatory complexity. We help clients move through acquisition, development, delivery, leasing, and disputes with clear legal footing.
Where we focus
What we handle in this sector
- Land acquisition and title due diligence
- Development, leasing, and mixed-use structuring
- Construction contracts, claims, and disputes
- Regulatory approvals and permits
Our understanding
The landscape, as we read it.
Every major Egyptian development sits on top of a title history, a planning file, and a utility footprint that must be reconciled before ground is broken. We treat legal due diligence as a construction discipline — precise, documented, and repeatable.
Construction claims live at the intersection of programme, quantum, and contract. Our teams work alongside quantity surveyors, delay analysts, and technical experts to build a case that survives contested hearings and tribunal scrutiny.
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.
