The session was co-moderated by <strong>Bahaa Alieldean<\/strong>, senior and managing partner at <strong>Alieldean Weshahi & Partners.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Uncertain times? It\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen before: <\/strong>\u201cWhen clients come to us, they are more concerned about the uncertainty than we are. We\u2019ve seen the ups and downs, and we know how the recovery can happen and how things can turn around,\u201d Saleh said. \u201cThe fundamentals are there for the economy, so our role as advisors in general is to give a calming message that this volatility or this uncertainty is not the end of the world.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But there\u2019s still room for growth: <\/strong>Investors have negative views about the Egyptian tax system and tax policy, Saleh added, pointing to the need for tax reforms, namely ones \u201crooted in communication and addressing issues quickly which would reduce one of the biggest impediments to investors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A crisis isn\u2019t always bad: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve faced a decade of different sorts of challenges which led us to build up resilience and we have seen clients also build resilience \u2026 the trick is being creative and resourceful,\u201d Gadelhak said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why are startups leaving the country? <\/strong>\u201cEgypt produces a lot of startup ideas \u2026 but when it comes to raising capital, the venture capitalists and investors advise them to leave Egypt and start setting up outside Egypt,\u201d Saleh said. Startups are advised to \u201ckeep the operations in Egypt but have their holding company outside Egypt, where funds are raised and where further investments happen.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThis is really a regulatory issue in the first place,\u201d<\/strong> Saleh said. \u201cWe have the ideas, the talent pool, and the economy that supports and makes all these startups successful, so why do they leave in search for a better ecosystem? \u2026 From a corporate law point of view, all the arrangements and the shareholder agreements are better regulated and easily enforced outside Egypt,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More support needed: <\/strong>\u201cIt is important that [the regulations hindering startups] be looked into very seriously,\u201d Gadelhak said. \u201cThe green industry, for example, needs to be centralized from a regulatory and institutional perspective in order to avoid any conflict of interest. There needs to be a coherent strategy to which all relevant stakeholders abide by whether or not it benefits them on an individual basis,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019m actually calling for deregulation completely,\u201d <\/strong>Hanafi said, calling for the removal of all legislations that exist in freezones. He pointed to Saudi Arabia and the efforts being done there \u201ccreating this whole concept of economic zones that is completely detached from the base economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Is there a silver lining to this crisis?<\/strong>The silver lining to these difficult times is that Egyptian companies are looking to expand abroad, Hanafi said. \u201cBecause of what\u2019s happening they are trying to open up new markets. Investors are looking into Africa \u2014 and we were not competing in Africa like we should have been.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Brain drain is an issue, but there\u2019s a solution: <\/strong>\u201cEvery time there\u2019s devaluation, there\u2019s a brain drain and people leave the country,\u201d Saleh said, explaining that firms accept it\u2019s part of the business. \u201cWe hire large numbers of people and invest in their training because we know that the turnover rate will be high,\u201d after which they will have the choice between working locally or exporting their professional services to a different market. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But it\u2019s not all bad: <\/strong>Even if the employees eventually leave due to competitive compensation in the Gulf, it ultimately comes back full circle when they return as clients, Saleh added. \u201cEvery organization boils down to the people and we expose them to other markets to help fulfill a certain intellectual challenge,\u201d Gadelhak said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/ads\/imgs\/44.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawyers weigh in on market volatility, regulations, and the startup scene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":608253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7318],"tags":[3433,11685,7317,72,2560,11680,11681,11682,11683,11684,1018],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-608252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enterprise-finance-forum","tag-baker-mckenzie","tag-barsoum-abdel-aziz","tag-enterprise-finance-forum","tag-enterpriseam","tag-grant-thornton","tag-kamel-saleh","tag-lamyaa-gadelhak","tag-mhr-partners","tag-said-hanafi","tag-saleh","tag-white-case","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"a08ba9ef-6e73-4e25-9c46-11801503ec5b","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2023\/10\/812.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"Where do lawyers stand in this volatile market?","related_issue":[608241],"teaser":"Lawyers weigh in on market volatility, regulations, and the startup scene","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2023\/10\/.a2996f22-1013-4094-b4fc-742437a363f2.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Where do lawyers stand in this volatile market?
