I am academically and professionally double-qualified with exceptional experience drawn from practising law and arbitration in Egypt and England since 1996. I am registered and qualified as a professional arbitrator in England and as a professional lawyer before Egypt’s Court of Cassation, as well as being an associate member in the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) in London. My experience comprises of representing private clients, sovereign states, and investment disputes of international character. Cases I have worked on have often involved an international element, usually with multiple competing jurisdictions and laws. My cases include investment disputes over state's contracts in which there is a foreign party or contractor, banks, venture capitalists, and equity investors, in addition to large English, Egyptian, and international corporations with disputes related to construction, energy, natural resources and technology. Being bilingual allows me to work comfortably with a wider variety of clients; as a dual national, British and Egyptian, I am a native Arabic speaker and an English speaker. Furthermore, I hold an LLM International Commercial Law with International Dispute Resolution with Arbitration from the University of Reading, England, and a member of LCIA (London Court of international Arbitration) .I am also licensed as a lawyer before all Egyptian courts.
