Our lawyers regularly represent Egypt’s leading companies, individual businessmen and women, high-net worth individuals, families and public servants who are either based in, or seeking opportunities in, Egypt, or who are caught in criminal and political crossfire particularly in the aftermath of the Arab Spring.
Dealing with a chaotic web of new laws, regulations, false accusations and speculative action in this volatile part of North Africa represents a significant and complex challenge. Having the most respected and influential law firm in the region on your side can make all the difference.
The firm is also occasionally called upon to advise on prosecutions, so understands the issues from all angles.
Abou Shoka Law believes the strength of any justice system is best judged by what happens to innocent people dragged through the process, as much as by what happens to the guilty. Acting on so many of the biggest cases in this area gives Abou Shoka lawyers a uniquely nuanced perspective., This is why the Egyptian Government is so often interested in our views on how legislation in this area should be framed.
Abou Shoka lawyers regularly practise across the majority of the Arab world including the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan and Qatar.
