The projects and infrastructure team at Zaki Hashem, Attorneys at Law is co-led by veteran practitioners Sameh Khodeir and Yasser Hashem and covers the full gamut of infrastructure and projects matters. Stakeholders in power, utilities, manufacturing, tourism, transport and social infrastructure developments turn to the group for assistance with financing, regulatory and compliance, and EPC contracts. The bench features Sameh Kamal, who focuses on debt finance and acquisition finance, and Shaaban Gaballah, a key contact for contentious and non-contentious real estate and construction expertise. The ‘detail-oriented’ Heba El Naggar is sought out for assistance with PPP projects.
