Public and Private Free Zones alongside the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) offer exceptional customs and tax exemptions for industrial and export-oriented ventures. Our firm prepares complete legal dossiers to secure Egypt’s fast-track Golden License.

When pairing GCC capital investors with local operational partners, we draft airtight Joint Venture Agreements regulating cash and in-kind contributions, board representation, dual-signature banking controls, and Deadlock Resolution mechanisms (Russian Roulette / Texas Shoot-Out clauses).

We structure cross-border holdings to maximize protection under Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and the Unified Agreement for the Investment of Arab Capital.
