Habib Al Mulla and Partners has expanded into Egypt with the opening of a new office in Cairo.
The office will be located in Mivida Business Park in New Cairo. The team comprises seven members with plans for expansion, a spokesperson told Law Middle East.
The office was officially launched by the firm’s founder and chairman, Dr Habib Al Mulla, during a ceremony held last week at Dar Al Darb in the Citadel of Cairo.
It is the UAE firm’s fourth international office to open in recent years, after the firm opened in Baghdad and Moscow last year, and Istanbul in 2023.
The expansion comes amid a growing influx of Emirati investment into Egypt driven by lucrative opportunities in real estate, infrastructure, and a shared commitment to strengthening economic ties between countries.
“Our expansion into Egypt is a natural step in our firm’s journey,” said Dr Habib Al Mulla. “Egypt’s economic potential, combined with its deep legal talent pool, aligns seamlessly with our vision of offering strategic legal guidance across borders. As UAE investment in Egypt continues to rise, we are committed to supporting businesses with our deep regional expertise and industry-specific legal teams.”
Mohammed El Khatib, principal partner and head of disputes, said: “Egypt has always been a cornerstone of the region’s legal and economic framework, and it is an honor to bring our expertise to a market that is not only growing but also deeply connected to the UAE. This move strengthens our ability to support clients with a local presence while maintaining our global standards. We are here to provide businesses with the highest caliber of legal counsel, ensuring they navigate Egypt’s evolving legal landscape with confidence and success.”
Habib Al Mulla and Partners has been operating in the UAE for more than 40 years and has grown to a team of over 70 lawyers providing services across finance, real estate, energy, and technology.
