Frequently asked questions
Clear answers on pricing, formation, licensing, trademarks and consultations.
General
Do I need to visit the office?
No. Most of our work is online: video consultations, documents over WhatsApp and email, and one notarised power of attorney for filings.
Are these prices final?
These are our starting fees. Before any work we send a written quote itemising our fees and government costs.
How are you different from formation agencies?
We are a law firm. We form your company and stay with you after: licensing, contracts, trademarks, employment and disputes.
Which governorates do you serve?
All governorates. Filings are handled through a power of attorney and online follow-up, coordinating with the authorities in your governorate.
Are my details and documents safe?
Everything you share is protected by professional confidentiality and only used with the authorities your matter requires.
Do you work with individuals or companies?
We specialise in companies, business owners and start-ups. We work with individuals on matters connected to their business.
Is the paid consultation credited?
Yes. If you engage us for the service, the consultation fee is deducted from our fees.
How will I know how my matter is progressing?
We send step-by-step updates on WhatsApp after every important stage, and you can ask at any time.
Do you work with companies outside Egypt?
Yes. We serve Arab and foreign investors entering the Egyptian market, and everything can be handled online.
What do you not handle?
We do not handle personal-status or individual criminal cases. We focus on corporate and business law.
Pricing & payment
Are government fees included?
No. Published prices are our professional fees only. Government fees vary by case and are shown separately in your quote.
How do I pay?
After we agree we send an online card payment link, or InstaPay or bank transfer. Larger services are paid in stages.
Can I pay in instalments?
For larger services we split payment across the stages of work. Talk to us and we will arrange what suits you.
Do you issue invoices?
Yes, we issue an official invoice for every payment.
What if I change my mind after paying?
Cancellation and refund terms are written in your quote and engagement letter, based on the work actually done.
Company formation
Which company type should I choose?
It depends on the number of partners, activity, liability and funding. Use the formation estimator or book a 30-minute consultation.
Can I form a company while employed?
It depends on your employment contract and employer. We review the position with you before starting.
What is the minimum capital?
It varies by company type and activity. We confirm what applies to you during the consultation.
Do you help open a company bank account?
We prepare the documents the bank asks for and guide you through the steps. The account itself is opened by the bank.
Licensing
How do I know which licences my activity needs?
Use the "licensing finder" for a free preliminary list; we confirm it for your case in the quote.
Can I start operating before licences are issued?
It depends on the activity. Some cannot start without a licence, so we review your case and prioritise the steps.
Do you work with factories in industrial zones?
Yes. We handle industrial, environmental and civil-protection licensing and more, depending on the factory location.
Do requirements change?
Yes, so we check the latest requirements for your case before filing rather than rely on old lists.
Intellectual property
Why register my trademark?
To protect your name and logo from imitation and to stop someone else registering or using it before you.
Can I check the name before filing?
Yes. Send the name and activity from the "Is your brand available?" tool and we reply with a free preliminary result.
Does the trademark protect only in Egypt?
An Egyptian registration protects in Egypt. For other countries we arrange international or Gulf registration.
Contracts & employment
Can you review a contract before I sign?
Yes, and that is the best time. Send it through the website and we reply with comments and suggested edits.
Which contracts matter most to a company?
The partners’ agreement, employment contracts, customer and supplier contracts, and NDAs. We review what your business needs.
Does the new Labour Law affect my company?
Any company with employees is affected. Take the labour law check on the site and see where you stand in two minutes.
Disputes & collection
A client will not pay. What should I do?
Collect your documents (contracts, invoices, messages) and send them to us. Usually the first step is a formal notice, then we choose the best route.
Do you litigate in all courts?
We handle company disputes and economic court matters, coordinating with specialist counsel for hearings and enforcement as needed.
Can you guarantee I will win?
No, no reputable lawyer guarantees an outcome. We assess your position honestly before we start.
Online consultations
Which app is used for the consultation?
Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp video, whatever suits you. A phone call works too.
What should I prepare?
Write a short summary and gather documents (contracts, commercial register, correspondence). The clearer the file, the more useful the consultation.
Privacy & confidentiality
How long do you keep my data?
We keep files for the period the law and professional rules require; see the privacy policy for details.
Are consultations recorded?
No, unless we agree with you explicitly beforehand.
Still have a question?
Write to us or book a consultation and we will reply.
