Overview
The legal market in Egypt is dominated by a few full-service firms, the most well known of which are Helmy, Hamza & Partners (Baker & McKenzie), Shalakany Law Office, Zaki Hashem & Partners, Attorneys at Law and Al Kamel Law Office. Two-partner practice Sharkawy & Sarhan is also prominent, together with Ibrachy Law Firm and Ibrachy & Dermarkar, which has expanded with the hire of five associates in 2009 and 2010. There have been no major shake ups since the prominent and ‘extremely well-connected’ Mona Zulficar left Shalakany Law Office to found Zulficar & Partners Law Firm in 2009. International firms do not have a strong presence on the ground, with the exception of Trowers & Hamlins in association with Nour Law Office, SNR Denton – formerly Denton Wilde Sapte – and DLA Matouk Bassiouny, which all practise in collaboration with local practitioners.
