Since its establishment in March 2015, Mekawy Law Firm has worked with individuals and companies on transactions, disputes and advisory matters. Our practice brings together legal assessment, document drafting, procedural work and continuing follow-up within the agreed engagement.
These aggregate figures describe the volume of work; a matter may involve several procedural steps.
The founder’s professional experience and the firm’s practice span businesses in technology, software, advertising, tourism, property development and services. Understanding the activity and how it operates helps us frame workable obligations and identify the risks that matter in each engagement.
Our contract drafting and review experience covers activities with different delivery models, outputs and allocations of responsibility. We approach the agreement through the activity itself and what the parties need during performance, at handover and when the relationship ends.
Development scope, technical specifications, milestones, acceptance testing and handover, together with change requests, payment, maintenance and support. We address intellectual property, licensing, source code, files and operating information as agreed, distinguishing commissioned development from third-party components and licences.
Service delivery, operation, hosting and integration obligations suited to the project, including service levels, support, incidents and backups. We address confidentiality, access permissions, data responsibilities, retrieval or migration at the end of the engagement and each party’s responsibility for the systems it operates.
Services, content, approval and delivery schedules, with management fees distinguished from advertising budgets and third-party costs. We address rights in materials, brands and digital accounts, approvals, revisions, reporting, performance measures, the scope of any outcome commitments and handover of assets and accounts.
Relationships between the service provider, customer and suppliers, including services, bookings, price, payment deadlines, changes, cancellation and refunds. We clarify responsibility for each service, the effects of schedule changes or inability to perform, notices and claims handling in the context of the activity and its applicable rules.
Obligations tied to drawings, specifications, bills of quantities and schedules, including progress payments, retentions and guarantees. We address variations, additional works, site possession, provisional and final handover, defects and delay, approval and supervision authority, responsibilities and subcontracting.
The assigned work, outputs, authority, monitoring and assessment, together with fees, expenses, confidentiality and document custody. We address the return of records and entrusted assets when the relationship ends, distinguishing independent services from arrangements governed by employment law or another special legal regime.
Our practice includes payment claims, contract and lease disputes, and other proceedings within our professional remit and admission. Work begins with the legal basis and evidence, then proceeds to claims and defences, pleadings, hearings, service, appeals and enforcement-related steps within the authority granted.
We draft and review contracts to reflect the actual relationship and its purpose, addressing obligations, price, performance, handover and safeguards. Particular attention is given to breach, termination, notices and dispute resolution, so the agreement addresses performance as well as the terms agreed at signing.
Our work covers legal form, founders’ arrangements, management and signing authority, formation documents and the procedures included in the engagement. Restructuring is assessed separately against the company’s existing position and the proposed changes, including their effects on shareholders, management and obligations, with other specialists involved where needed.
We address responsibilities within the company, decisions, meeting records, delegations and relationships between shareholders and management. This includes internal policies and procedures, conflicts of interest, professional conduct and workplace ethics, with declarations and controls designed to align daily practice with the company’s legal framework.
We advise and handle family matters, including maintenance, custody, visitation, divorce, khul and financial rights arising from marriage. Each request is assessed against its documents, legal requirements and procedures, with attention to privacy, children’s interests and the wider consequences of the proceedings.
We prepare legal opinions and professional correspondence after defining the issue and reviewing the relevant facts and documents. We explain the options, the reasons for our assessment and the risks affecting the decision, while distinguishing legal advice from the administrative or commercial decision that remains with the client.
We distinguish the client’s objectives from the documentary position and agree the scope, starting point and information or procedures required.
We connect the facts with their evidence, examine the legal characterization, jurisdiction, deadlines and authorities, and assess competing arguments and risks before recommending a course.
We record procedural steps and documents, explain what has been done and what remains or requires instructions, and distinguish professional fees from expenses.
We reassess the course when material documents or procedural developments arise, review the final work within scope and explain the outcome of the engagement and any related next steps or obligations.
Professional confidentiality is part of how we work. This page presents our practice and aggregate activity without client names, case documents or confidential details.
