The team are engaged by blue-chip clients in proceedings concerning investment treaties, as well as commercial and sports law matters. The team is also renowned for its proficiency in mediation as an alternative dispute resolution method. Leading the team are two highly seasoned arbitration practitioners: John Matouk and Amr A.

At the counsel level, Mohamed Sallam and Mohamed Samy are the key names to note.
