Our litigation department comprises more than 20 licensed attorneys. The Litigation & Court Advocacy Department is headed by Mr. Emad Helmy and Mr. Ramadan Abdel Aal, each of whom has more than 35 years of legal experience in commercial and administrative litigation and legal practice.

We handle complex, high-value cases and high-profile disputes involving sophisticated strategic advice, multiple professional disciplines and cross-border proceedings.
