Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Al Tamimi & Company is the go-to firm for Egyptian financing matters, especially where the syndicate involves non-Egyptian lenders who are unfamiliar with the Egypt law requirements. Al Tamimi & Company lawyers are very responsive, which is crucial when there is time difference between different jurisdictions.’
- ‘I mainly worked with Nour Gheith and Yasmeen Qotbi. Both of them were very responsive and would respond to my queries within an hour or so. They were very patient - the non-Egypt lender had many questions, but they answered each and every question clearly. As a lead counsel, I felt they provided very strong support on the deal, and would definitely reach out to them again if I need Egypt assistance.’
- ‘Legally competent and seniors manage the accounts closely.'
- ‘Very personable, cares for the business and very available.’
