Attorney before the High Courts of Appeal and the State Council

His practice includes litigation, contract drafting and review, and advising companies. He has advised businesses in technology, advertising, real estate development and tourism. He previously served on the ethics committee of a medical research centre and contributed legal commentary featured in Ahl Masr.
When reviewing a dispute, he starts with the sequence of events, the documents and the relevant dates. When reviewing a contract, he looks at how it will be performed and what each party can do if performance falls short.
Our approach
We founded the firm to provide advice and representation grounded in the facts and documents of each matter. We treat the right of defence as a professional responsibility. That means listening carefully, protecting confidences and presenting the client’s case honestly.
Our vision
We want clients to be able to act on the advice they receive. We explain the reasons for our assessment, clarify what requires a decision and keep a record of the work. Our publications and library are part of the same effort to make legal information easier to use.
Our principles
- 01
Clarity
Identify the question, the scope of the engagement and the decisions that require the client’s instructions.
- 02
Confidentiality
We protect the information and documents you entrust to us and check for conflicts of interest when considering an engagement.
- 03
Care and integrity
We explain what the documents support, what remains to be proved and what is within the scope of our work.
- 04
Independent advice
Assess each option against the facts and documents, and distinguish established points from those that require verification.

We protect the information entrusted to us and check for conflicting interests. Access to your file is handled under professional confidentiality obligations and applicable law.

Fees and expenses
We agree fees and explain how expenses are approved and recorded. If the dispute ends in settlement, arbitration or judgment, the agreed terms and applicable rules govern payment.
- 05
Changes to the engagement
If material information is found to be inaccurate, we discuss its effect on the work and whether we can continue. Any withdrawal is handled with notice to the client and due regard for their interests and deadlines.

Handover and records
At handover we arrange the return of originals and provide copies of the documents used in the agreed work. We keep an office record subject to confidentiality.
How we work
We start by understanding your instructions and reviewing the documents and deadlines. We agree the scope, fees and costs, then record the work and keep you informed of decisions that need your input. At handover, we explain what is complete and arrange the return of original documents.
