Cross-Border Inheritance of Listed Securities in Egypt: A Regulatory Case Study

Navigating the intersection of foreign inheritance laws, Egyptian capital market regulations, and the procedural requirements of Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry (MCDR). Inheritance involving assets located in multiple jurisdictions is inherently complex.

The “New York Convention” Advantage: Why Awards Pay Out Faster Than Judgments

If you hold a court judgment from London, enforcing it in Egypt is a gamble on "reciprocity." If you hold an Arbitral Award from London, enforcing it in Egypt is a treaty obligation. Egypt is a signatory to the 1958 New York Convention (Presidential Decree No. 171 of 1959). This means Egyptian courts are legally [...]

The “Midnight Clause”: How to Draft a Bulletproof Arbitration Clause in Egypt

In corporate deal-making, the arbitration clause is often called the "Midnight Clause." It is the final paragraph copy-pasted at 2:00 AM just before signatures, often from an old template that doesn't fit the deal. This is a fatal error. At Consortio Law Firm, we have seen multimillion-dollar awards annulled in the Cairo Court of Appeal [...]

CRCICA vs. ICC: The “Cost of Prestige” in Egyptian Disputes

When drafting an arbitration clause, most foreign lawyers default to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris. It is the "safe," prestigious choice. But for a dispute centered in Egypt—involving Egyptian assets and Egyptian law—the ICC is often the expensive, logistical nightmare choice. At Consortio Law Firm, we advise clients to look at the [...]

Arbitration in Egypt: The Strategic Alternative to Courts

For foreign investors, the Egyptian court system—with its multiple tiers of appeal and "Expert Office" delays—can feel like a liability. The solution? Arbitration. Egypt is a pro-arbitration jurisdiction. It is a signatory to the 1958 New York Convention (via Presidential Decree No. 171 of 1959), and its domestic arbitration law (Law No. 27 of 1994) [...]

The “Reciprocity” Trap & The 5 Phases of Execution in Egypt

If you have read our General Counsel’s Guide to Commercial litigation, you know that the Egyptian legal system is a tiered hierarchy. But what happens if your judgment didn't come from an Egyptian court at all? A common scenario: A foreign investor wins a judgment in London or Dubai. They come to Cairo believing the [...]

The “Fast Track”: Why You Want Your Dispute in the economic court

If you walk into an ordinary Egyptian Civil Court (Mahkama Ibtida'iya), you will see stacks of paper files tied with twine, crowded halls, and judges managing hundreds of miscellaneous cases—from rent disputes to petty theft—in a single day. If you are a foreign investor, this is not where you want your commercial dispute to live. [...]

Commercial litigation in Egypt: A General Counsel’s Guide to the economic courts & Enforcement (2026)

If you ask a standard lawyer about litigation in Egypt, they will quote the Civil Code. If you ask a General Counsel who has actually managed a dispute here, they will talk about three things: "The Expert Office," "The Notification Loop," and the "Execution Problems." At Consortio Law Firm, we focus on Execution Reality. The [...]

The Bottleneck: The Realities of Opening a Corporate Bank Account in Egypt

If you read the standard brochures on investing in Egypt, you will often see "Company incorporation" listed as a 3-day process. Legally, obtaining the Commercial Register may indeed take only a few days. Operationally, however, your business cannot move a single dollar until the bank account is active. At Consortio Law Firm, we believe in [...]
