Motaz El Dreny, founding partner of Dreny & Partners: <\/strong>For a special Ramadan edition of our weekly My Morning Routine column that we will run through the holy month, we spoke to Motaz El Dreny (LinkedIn<\/a>), founding partner of Dreny & Partners<\/a>. We asked Motaz the usual questions to find out how a successful member of the community starts their day and threw in a few more to find out how he adjusts to Ramadan and what he looks forward to in the holy month.<\/p>\n

My name is Motaz El Dreny and I\u2019m the founding partner of Dreny & Partners. <\/strong>My interest in the law started as early as high school \u2014 my father was also a lawyer \u2014 and I've been practicing law for over 20 years. I started my career as a public prosecutor and moved over to corporate law in 2006, before establishing my own firm in 2014. <\/p>\n

I manage a firm of around 40 people, including 23 lawyers.<\/strong> My daily responsibilities can be split into three parts: the technical part of my job, which is the law itself, the administrative part managing the firm, and the PR and business development side, which is a key part of ensuring the sustainability of the firm.<\/p>\n

Egypt has made a lot of progress in expanding financial services in the country,<\/strong> and working towards financial inclusion. This is something I had anticipated when I set up the firm. We wanted to be a key player in this wave of new financial activity that is fast developing, and to position Dreny & Partners as one of the top law firms providing legal services in the field of financial services.<\/p>\n

As for what we do?<\/strong> We help to grow and support businesses who provide finance \u2014 whether that\u2019s to consumers or to other businesses \u2014 and we make sure that they are in full compliance and that they adhere to financial regulations, which are often complex. <\/p>\n

Our job goes hand in hand with the macroeconomic conditions.<\/strong> So, for example, with the float of the EGP, we\u2019re seeing busier private M&A activity. Or, a decision to increase interest rates will subdue financing activities as people go for unconventional methods of lending, like structured finance. <\/p>\n

In terms of my usual morning routine, I\u2019m quite sporty.<\/strong> I\u2019ll wake up at 6:30am, say goodbye to my three boys before they head to school, and then I\u2019ll head to the gym for an hour-and-a-half workout. I\u2019m fortunate enough that my home, my gym, and my office are all in the same compound. Back home, I\u2019ll cook breakfast and check if I have any external meetings for the day. I take external meetings in the afternoon, and then head back to the office for internal meetings with the admin team or the lawyers. After that comes the best part of the job \u2014 the \u2018lawyering\u2019 itself, the technical stuff, which usually only starts around 5pm or 6pm. <\/p>\n

But, my Ramadan routine is completely different, and super hectic.<\/strong> You need to squeeze in the same routine of the regular working day in fewer hours and on lower energy. During Ramadan, I usually head to the office first. The team will finish up in the office around 3pm or 4pm, so I\u2019ll work by myself for a couple of hours and then hit the gym right before iftar and social gatherings. I\u2019ll sometimes join a business suhoor, but I enjoy spending time with family and friends the most. <\/p>\n

The one constant in my day? My boys.<\/strong> They\u2019re 15, 10, and 7 years old and I like to be super present in their lives. Whatever spare time I have from work, I\u2019ll spend with them. I\u2019ll take them to sports activities and I\u2019ll join them on trips. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to forget to \u2018live\u2019 when progressing in the corporate world<\/strong>. One thing I\u2019m trying to work on is getting the right work-life balance. Getting back in touch with the people I love and miss, whom I lost touch with while focussing on my career.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of Al Daheeh. <\/strong>I discovered it quite late, around four or five years ago, but I love that it\u2019s a show that you can relax to whilst also learning valuable information. <\/p>\n

As for books, I\u2019m reading two at the moment: \u2018<\/strong>Everything Is Fu**ed: A Book About Hope\u2019 by Mark Manson and \u2018Sapiens\u2019 by Yuval Noah Harari. I would recommend them both.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong> As for Dreny & Partners, we\u2019re seeking regional expansion. We\u2019re looking into GCC countries, especially Saudi Arabia. I think it makes sense for any business here who is looking to expand. We\u2019ve started making moves into the UAE, but there\u2019s nothing solid confirmed so far. <\/p>\n

I was one of the youngest lawyers to make partner in the corporate field,<\/strong> and I\u2019d often resent how the older, established lawyers would treat younger colleagues. The mentality of, \u201cWho are you to tell me what to do?\u201d But one of the best pieces of advice I was given came from my professor at the University of Commercial Law, Dr Hani Sarieldin, with whom I also worked with until 2015 \u2014 he\u2019s very charismatic and someone I look up to. He would tell me, \u201cYou\u2019re young, you have the future. They don\u2019t. So use your youth wisely. It\u2019s one of the most valuable assets you have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
