Egyptian Law & Cross-Border Practice
Effective cross-border work requires more than reviewing documents — it requires a clear understanding of governing law, procedure, enforceability, and how Egyptian legal issues actually affect commercial decisions on the ground.
Kassem Law supports U.S. and international law firms, businesses, and individuals when a transaction, dispute, asset, or family matter requires advice on Egyptian law. We work alongside U.S. counsel when a matter also involves federal or state law — Kassem Law's role is Egyptian law; your existing counsel's role is everything else.
How We Work With Your Team
Most engagements start with one of three requests:
- A focused question — e.g., confirming how a specific Egyptian statute or procedure applies to a document or fact pattern.
- A due-diligence or document task — reviewing Egyptian corporate records, contracts, or Arabic-language documentation, and reporting findings in English.
- An ongoing role in a larger matter — cross-border M&A, an arbitration with an Egyptian-law dimension, or a dispute requiring coordination with Egyptian courts or counsel.
Deliverables are typically a written legal opinion, a due-diligence memo, or direct coordination on your timeline — scoped up front so there are no surprises.

Kassem Law's RFLC registration (California and Connecticut) permits advising on Egyptian law; it does not confer status as an attorney-at-law in either state. For matters involving U.S. federal or state law, Kassem Law works alongside U.S. counsel.
