Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Legal Protector provides litigation and legal representation services before courts and judicial bodies in Egypt for individuals, companies, foreign nationals and investors. We handle disputes from the assessment and document-gathering stage, through settlement attempts and drafting pleadings, to the enforcement of judgments and related procedures.

Assessing the Dispute Before Filing a Case

The first step is not always filing a lawsuit. It may be better to send a formal notice, preserve evidence, negotiate, take a precautionary measure, or correct a legal position before litigating. We review contracts, correspondence, documents and key dates, and identify the parties to the dispute, possible claims, defences, risks and expected cost.

Scope of Litigation Services

• Civil, commercial and real estate disputes.
• Company, partner, contract and obligation disputes.
• Cases related to investment and commercial transactions.
• Labour, employment and compensation disputes.
• Family and personal-status cases involving a foreign element.
• Disputes requiring representation of foreign parties before Egyptian courts.
• Interim and precautionary orders where conditions are met.
• Appeals and following up litigation stages according to statutory deadlines.
• Judgment-enforcement procedures and enforceable instruments.

Managing the Case File

For each dispute we set a work plan covering established facts, missing documents, claims, expected defences and procedural deadlines. The client is kept informed of developments, decisions and documents required, with options explained in clear language to support an informed decision.

Litigation for Companies and Investors

Business disputes require understanding the dispute’s impact on operations, contracts, cash flow and reputation, not only the judicial side. We therefore review the feasibility of settlement and negotiation, preserve evidence and correspondence, and handle the dispute in a way that balances protecting the right with business continuity.

Representing Foreign Nationals Before Egyptian Courts

We help foreign clients prepare powers of attorney and documents issued abroad, translate and legalize them, and explain the litigation system, deadlines and procedures. We also review foreign judgments and instruments to determine whether they can be relied upon, or whether recognition or enforcement should be sought under the applicable rules and treaties.

Settlement and Negotiation

A well-structured settlement can achieve a faster, less costly outcome when its terms are fair and enforceable. We take part in negotiations, review offers, and draft settlement agreements specifying obligations, deadlines, penalties and the enforcement mechanism, without giving up necessary protections.

Enforcement of Judgments

Obtaining a judgment may not end the file. We review the enforceable copy, the place of enforcement, the debtor’s assets, available procedures and possible objections, and follow up the legal steps needed up to the stage permitted by the judgment and the law.

How We Work

1. Reviewing documents, facts and statutory deadlines.
2. Providing an initial assessment of options and risks.
3. Choosing the strategy: negotiation, formal notice, lawsuit, or urgent measure.
4. Preparing the statement of claim, pleadings, documents and defences.
5. Attending hearings, following up, and keeping the client informed of progress.
6. Reviewing appeal or enforcement options after a decision or judgment is issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the outcome of a case be guaranteed?

No. The outcome of a dispute is a matter for the court and is affected by evidence, facts and law. We explain the strengths and risks and work to present the file in the best legal form.

Do I need to attend in person?

Many procedures can be carried out through a valid power of attorney, but some cases require the person concerned to attend, submit an original document, or perform a personal act.

How long does a case take?

The timeline varies by type of case, court, number of parties, notifications, expert referrals and appeal stages. We provide a realistic estimate after reviewing the file.

Do you attempt settlement before going to court?

We assess the feasibility of settlement in every file. If it serves the client’s interest and protects their rights, we draft it clearly and in an enforceable form.

What documents are needed for an assessment?

Contracts, correspondence, receipts, notices, prior judgments and any evidence of the facts, with a brief timeline of the dispute.
