Dispute Resolution Success Stories
Case #1:
A civil dispute involving a foreign property [The Client] who sent three original deeds (ownership chain) to a reliable source [The Defendant]. Two of the deeds were altered by the defendant, making the two contracts invalid. Both contracts were found to be forged by the competent authority. We adjust our defence strategy to strike a balance between proving the property’s ownership and taking precautionary measures to eliminate any suspicion of fraud that had been established in the records. Our strategy is to prove the client’s ownership via possession for more than 15 years while also prolonging the civil element of the case, which resulted in the criminal charge of fraud being dismissed. We won the case, and the verdict was in our client’s favour, confirming his ownership of the property and his acquittal of the fraud charge.
Case #2:
Terminating lease contracts in the 1950s and expelling illegally remaining occupants by procuring a court decision/order and enforcing it for two decades set a record for “lease contracts” governed by Egyptian law
Case #3:
A family lawsuit regarding a spouse [The Client] who filed an “Abdicative Divorce,” wherein the court agreed to ditch the marriage relationship. In an end, the client was able to retrieve the abdicative divorce within only 30 days, a record-breaking time in comparison to certain other cases.
Case #4:
Obtained a civil judgment in our client’s favor, a prominent glass manufacturer, stating a suspended sentence of 1,000 EGP for only a misdemeanor for breaking the Egyptian Environmental Law, notwithstanding the law’s mandatory sentence being 1,000,000 EGP.
Case #5:
We reduced a criminal proclamation act that stipulated a breach of “The Egyptian Customs Law” on “Joint Stock enterprise” [The Client] from the seizure of commodities valued roughly 1 million EGP to a suspended sentence of 1,000 EGP only, based on the argument of unconstitutionality of the Egyptian Customs Law with regard to not uttering the necessity of the legal representative’s guaranteed knowledge
Case #6:
We attained a court ruling in a disciplinary suit made by a government body vs. an employee [The Client], demonstrating his innocence from the administrative breach attributed to him.
Case #7:
We were also successful in having a federal authority rescind our client’s bank seizes and recover his funds due to an uncemented debt.
Case #8:
A prominent Middle Eastern businessman owns a 117,000 m² land plot in Abu Soma – Safaga under a preliminary contract from 2007 and a registered contract from 2015.
Other parties unlawfully took over the land using fraudulent actions, and one of them filed a possession report without involving the rightful owner, leading to an incorrect decision granting them possession.
A legal strategy was implemented to challenge this decision through a counterclaim, supported by official documents proving ownership, including contracts, licenses, and governmental approvals. The court ultimately issued a ruling restoring possession of the land to its legitimate owner.
Case #9:
In an ongoing dispute concerning a 117,000 m² land plot in Safaga designated for the development of a Red Sea resort, an offensive intervention was made in the case, including a new request for the return of the disputed land filed under case number 1681/2024 before the North Giza Court.
The legal team based its request on prior judicial rulings confirming the client’s ownership of the land. Following the submission of supporting arguments and documents, the litigation team succeeded in securing a court judgment ordering the land to be returned to its rightful owner.
Case #10:
The litigation team successfully obtained a court ruling nullifying a previous judgment that required a company to pay USD 200,000. As a result, this debt was canceled in favor of our client, representing a legal victory supported by strong defenses and submitted evidence.
Case #11:
The litigation team successfully protected a client’s inheritance rights, valued at approximately EGP 40 million, after her brother attempted to seize a large portion of the estate and prevent her from claiming her share using a power of attorney from their mother. He also filed lawsuits to annul a gift deed of a property worth EGP 20 million and falsely accused her of theft.
A dual defense strategy was implemented: firstly, to prove the client’s innocence regarding all fabricated criminal allegations, and secondly, to confirm the validity of the gift deed and her civil rights in the estate. Through submission of evidence, legal documents, and coordination with authorities, the court ruled the criminal accusations unfounded, rejected the request to annul the gift deed, and affirmed the client’s ownership and lawful control over the property, ensuring full protection of her inheritance rights.
Case #12:
The case involved a dispute among three siblings over a property and villa in Zamalek valued at approximately EGP 120 million. One sibling sold his share through a registered contract and later passed away, after which another sibling filed a lawsuit seeking to annul the sale.
A defense strategy was proposed: either transferring the share to the client’s family through registered contracts or conducting an estate assessment to determine whether the property fell within the statutory third of the estate. The court chose the second option and appointed an expert, but the team faced challenges due to the dispersed nature of the estate.
The litigation team devised an innovative solution by appointing an external financial expert to assist the original court-appointed expert in valuing the estate. The expert’s report was accepted by the court, the lawsuit was dismissed, and the client’s rights were fully protected—demonstrating a creative, out-of-the-box approach in litigation management.
Case #13:
The litigation team successfully resolved a financial dispute between a client and a competing company concerning EGP 2,550,000 under a memorandum of understanding, after amicable negotiations failed. The legal strategy included drafting protective contractual terms, adding a penalty clause to ensure compliance, and filing an arbitration claim before the Cairo Regional Arbitration Center due to the other party’s failure to fulfill its obligations.
The team successfully defeated all procedural and substantive defenses of the opposing party, securing a judgment ordering repayment of the amount with 5% legal interest. Despite the lengthy dispute, lack of documents, and the opponent’s resistance, all obstacles were overcome through collection of official documents and proactive management of the arbitration process.
Case #14:
Residents of a high-end residential, hotel, and commercial tower in Maadi overlooking the Nile suffered from noise and emissions caused by a generator owned by one of the tenants, negatively affecting their health, quality of life, and the property’s market value, which exceeds EGP 500 million.
The legal team advised the residents, helped establish a tenants’ association, and utilized underused provisions in civil law (Article 807) to address unusual neighborhood damages. A lawsuit was filed against the generator owner.
The residents obtained a court ruling ordering the removal of the generator and compensation for damages, protecting their health, comfort, and the property’s market value.
Case #15:
A dispute arose between our client and another company over the non-payment of more than EGP 3.5 million for the supply of specialized spare parts for under-measurement machines.
Despite the absence of written contracts, the litigation team successfully proved the contractual relationship in court using documents and evidence of actual receipt of the goods.
After attempts by the opposing party to avoid payment, the court ruled in favor of our client, ordering the other party to pay the outstanding amount, fully resolving the dispute.
Case #16:
The litigation team achieved a significant success for several clients who are shareholders in leading companies in ready-mix concrete, construction, and waste recycling, following a dispute regarding the validity of share purchase agreements with another party.
The team successfully proved the validity of the contracts before the Cairo Economic Court, resulting in a court ruling confirming the clients’ ownership of the shares and their legal rights, despite the opposing party’s attempts to evade and manipulate the law.
This achievement reflects the team’s diligent work and comprehensive preparation, demonstrating a strong commitment to protecting clients’ rights in complex and high-stakes commercial disputes.
