Egypt

Over the last 25 years, White & Case has been working with Egyptian companies to support their overseas investments, as well as local and global corporates, financial institutions, government-related enterprises and government bodies on innovative and complex transactions and high-stakes disputes in Egypt.

Our lawyers include Egyptian nationals who play an integral role in helping our clients understand the local business community and the steps needed to reach their business objectives in Egypt. Our Cairo office enables us to provide on-the-ground support for our clients in their domestic and complex, cross-border matters.

Serving clients in Egypt and beyond

The introduction of a number of economic initiatives and reforms in Egypt create an attractive environment for foreign investment.

White & Case is a market-leading legal adviser with more than 50 years of experience in the Middle East, including Egypt. The cornerstone of our practice is our ability to leverage a vast global network of resources, knowledge, capabilities and connections to help Egyptian companies and banks achieve their business objectives.
