What each brings to the table: The move aims to pair MFDP’s on-the-ground expertise in corporate, finance, M&A, and regulatory affairs with JHAB’s global reputation in high-stakes litigation and arbitration — particularly in construction, commercial disputes, tax, and white-collar crime, the statement reads.

A sign of a more globally engaged Egypt: The partnership represents a bid to meet growing demand for sophisticated cross-border legal support, said MFDP Managing Partner Hesham Fayez. “As Egypt enters a new phase of economic expansion and international engagement, the need for sophisticated, cross-border legal support is greater than ever,” he said. The alliance with JHAB brings together deep local insight and international litigation firepower to help clients navigate both opportunity and risk “with clarity and confidence,” he added.

What they said: “We are excited to be working with MFDP to provide clients in Egypt with the benefit of our world-class dispute resolution services. The combined strengths of both firms will allow us to help clients anticipate, manage, and resolve disputes with a level of precision and insight that is unmatched in the market,” James Bremen, presiding partner at JHAB, said.
