Ask a Question
Do you assist foreign entrepreneurs setting up a business in Sharm El Sheikh?

Yes. We regularly advise foreign founders and investors on company registration, permitted business activities, and the documentation required under Egyptian law. We explain each step clearly so you understand your obligations before signing anything.

What types of contracts can your office draft or review?

We draft and review commercial agreements, partnership contracts, employment agreements, lease contracts, supplier agreements, and service contracts. Every document is tailored to your specific business arrangement and reviewed for compliance with current Egyptian regulations.

How long does it typically take to draft a business contract?

Turnaround depends on complexity. Straightforward service or employment agreements are often ready within a few business days, while multi-party or investment agreements may require additional time for review and negotiation between parties.

Can you help my startup stay compliant with local licensing requirements?

Yes. We review your business activities against current licensing and regulatory requirements in Sharm El Sheikh and Egypt more broadly, and advise on renewals, permits, and reporting obligations relevant to your sector.

Do you offer ongoing legal consulting or only one-time services?

Both. Some clients need a single contract reviewed, while others prefer an ongoing arrangement where we advise on legal matters as they arise. We can discuss which structure fits your business needs during an initial consultation.

Is an in-person meeting required, or can consultations be done remotely?

We offer both options. Many clients, particularly those managing business remotely, prefer video or phone consultations. In-person meetings at our Sharm El Sheikh office are also available when preferred.

What should I bring to an initial legal consultation?

Bring any existing contracts, correspondence, business registration documents, or relevant identification. If you're starting a new venture, a brief description of your planned business activity helps us prepare relevant guidance in advance.

Do you handle disputes related to commercial contracts?

We advise clients on contract disputes, including reviewing breach claims and exploring negotiated resolutions. For matters requiring court representation, we discuss the appropriate legal process and next steps during consultation.
