    Siraj & Elhusseny Law Firm and Legal Consultancy provides legal support to Egyptian and foreign investors at every stage of establishing, implementing and operating investment projects in Egypt, from studying the appropriate legal structure for the project, through procedures, licenses and approvals, to supporting the project as it operates and expands.

    The firm's practice includes advising on investment legislation and on the regimes, incentives and guarantees available depending on the nature of the project and the conditions for benefiting from them, as well as following up on procedures before the competent authorities and handling legal issues that may arise while the project is being set up or operated.

    Legal Support for the Project from Day One

    Investment projects require the right legal structure from the outset, one that is linked to the nature of the activity, the size of the project, and how it is financed and by whom, helping to organize the relationship between the investor and the entity through which the activity is carried out.

    Our role therefore begins with studying the nature of the project and its investment objective, then defining the appropriate legal and procedural framework, and reviewing the requirements relating to incorporation, licenses, approvals and the relevant investment regimes.

    Our legal support continues beyond incorporation to cover matters that may arise during operation, expansion or dealings with the competent authorities.

    Scope of Practice

    01
    Structuring the Investment Project and Establishing the Entity

    The firm helps investors study and choose the appropriate legal structure for the investment project, determine the legal form of the entity, and follow up on incorporation procedures according to the nature of the activity and the project.

    This includes organizing the legal aspects of commencing the activity, integrated where needed with the firm's Corporate & Commercial Law services.

    02
    Advice on Investment Law and Related Legislation

    The firm advises on the provisions of the laws and regulations governing investment and the related requirements and procedures, depending on the nature of the project.

    The legal position of each project is assessed on the basis of its activity, structure and surrounding circumstances, without assuming that any investment regime or benefit applies until its conditions are met.

    03
    Investment Incentives, Guarantees and Regimes

    The firm's practice includes examining the available investment regimes, incentives and guarantees, and assessing whether they apply to the project given its nature and the conditions for benefiting from them.

    These matters are handled within the legal and regulatory framework applicable to each case.

    04
    Free Zones, Investment Zones and Special Regimes

    The firm provides legal support for projects subject to special investment regimes, including free zones, investment zones and other regulatory frameworks, depending on the nature of the activity and the project.

    This includes examining the requirements and procedures associated with these regimes and following up on what is needed before the competent authorities.

    05
    Support for Foreign Investors

    The firm provides legal support to foreign investors in matters relating to entering the Egyptian market and doing business through the appropriate entities.

    This work is integrated with the firm's services relating to company formation, foreign nationals and residency, work permits and other procedures involving a foreign element, according to the nature of each mandate.

    06
    Investment Issues and Disputes

    Legal issues or disputes requiring legal or procedural intervention may arise while a project is being set up or operated.

    In such cases, the firm examines the position, identifies the available options, and handles the matter according to its nature and whether it calls for procedural follow-up, negotiation or legal representation.

    How We Handle Investment Projects

    • Studying the Project: Each engagement begins with understanding the nature of the activity, the parties to the project, its proposed structure and its investment objective.
    • Defining the Structure and Legal Framework: We determine the legal form, procedures and regimes that suit the nature of the project.
    • Reviewing Requirements and Licenses: We identify the approvals, licenses and procedures required before the competent authorities according to the nature of the activity.
    • Follow-up and Support: The firm's role extends to following up on procedures and supporting the project on legal matters that arise during incorporation, operation and expansion.

    Investment Does Not Work in Isolation from Other Practices

    Investment projects are usually linked to a number of other legal practice areas, including Corporate & Commercial Law, Contracts & Agreements, Banking & Finance, Tax, and Foreign Nationals & Residency.

    That is why Siraj & Elhusseny handles investment matters within an integrated legal framework that takes into account the nature of the project and its corporate, contractual and procedural requirements.
