Dispute Resolution in Egypt and the MENA Region: Achieving Justice through Strategy and Expertise
In today’s complex commercial landscape, disputes are an inevitable part of doing business. The key, however, lies not in avoiding disputes altogether, but in resolving them efficiently, strategically, and in a manner that protects our clients’ interests and preserves valuable business relationships.
At Al Majidi, we recognize that dispute resolution is more than litigation — it is a strategic process aimed at achieving practical outcomes with minimal disruption to business operations. Operating across Egypt and the wider MENA region, our dispute resolution practice combines a deep understanding of local laws with regional and international expertise to provide tailored solutions for each client’s needs.
Our Approach
Our philosophy is rooted in three key pillars: strategy, efficiency, and resolution. We assess each dispute through a commercial lens, focusing on early risk identification and developing proactive strategies that align with our clients’ goals. Whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, our priority is always to secure the most favorable and cost-effective outcome.
We work closely with clients across various sectors — including corporate and commercial, construction, energy, real estate, and finance — providing clear, pragmatic advice at every stage of the dispute process.
Litigation in Egypt and the MENA Region
Our team represents clients before Egyptian courts and arbitral tribunals, leveraging an in-depth understanding of procedural laws and court systems across the region. We handle cases ranging from commercial and contractual disputes to shareholder conflicts, employment matters, and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.
We also assist international clients in navigating local regulations and bridging the gap between civil law and common law systems — an essential factor in cross-border disputes within the MENA region.
Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Arbitration has become a preferred method of dispute resolution in the MENA region, especially for cross-border transactions. Our firm regularly represents clients in proceedings under major arbitration rules, including Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA), DIAC, ICC, and LCIA.
In addition, we actively promote Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation and conciliation, which often provide faster, more confidential, and business-friendly outcomes compared to traditional litigation.
