Cairo · Egypt · Est. 2009
A full-service corporate law firm advising Egyptian and multinational clients on matters of the highest commercial complexity. We operate where precision, discretion, and authority are not optional — they are expected.
Who We Are
WITAN CO. was founded on the conviction that corporate clients operating in Egypt's market deserve counsel of international calibre.
Our partners have advised on some of the most consequential corporate transactions and commercial disputes in Egypt over the past fifteen years.
Our office is located at One Katameya Towers, New Cairo — positioned within Egypt's most active commercial and diplomatic corridor.

تأسيس الشركات والاستثمار
From the formation of a single-member LLC to the cross-border restructuring of a regional conglomerate, WITAN provides the precise legal infrastructure.
We advise on the full spectrum of Egyptian corporate vehicles — limited liability companies under Law No. 159 of 1981 and its amendments, joint-stock companies, partnerships, free-zone entities under the GAFI framework.
Egypt's investment law landscape — anchored by Law No. 72 of 2017 — offers significant incentives that are frequently misunderstood or under-utilised by incoming foreign investors.
Our M&A practice covers both buy-side and sell-side mandates across all industry verticals. We conduct comprehensive legal due diligence and structure transactions to minimise regulatory exposure.
We design and implement governance frameworks for boards of directors, executive management, and audit committees — satisfying the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority's corporate governance code.
القضاء التجاري والتحكيم
When commercial relationships break down, the quality of your legal representation in Egyptian courts becomes the single variable most likely to determine the outcome.
Our litigators are fully authorised before Egypt's Economic Courts established under Law No. 120 of 2008, as well as the Court of Cassation and the Cairo Court of Appeal.
WITAN acts as Egyptian counsel in proceedings administered by CRCICA, ICC, LCIA, and ICSID. We draft arbitration clauses, advise on seat strategy, and manage multi-jurisdictional enforcement.
Speed is often decisive in commercial disputes. WITAN's team is experienced in obtaining urgent injunctive relief, provisional attachments, and travel bans before Egyptian courts on accelerated timelines.
Securing a favourable judgment or award is only half the task. WITAN advises on enforcement of Egyptian court judgments and foreign arbitral awards against assets located in Egypt.
العقارات وإدارة الأصول
Egypt's real estate sector — encompassing the new administrative capital, coastal resort developments, and the New Cairo commercial corridor — represents one of the most dynamic investment frontiers in the region.
Egyptian property title is governed by a layered legal framework spanning the Civil Code, the Real Estate Publicity Law, and Presidential Decrees governing Sinai, coastal, and border-area transactions.
We draft and negotiate all instruments within the real estate development cycle — master development agreements with NUCA, construction contracts under the FIDIC framework adapted for Egyptian law.
Our practice advises institutional landlords and corporate tenants on long-form commercial leases for office towers, retail destinations, industrial facilities, and logistics parks across Egypt.
For high-net-worth individuals and family enterprises, the protection of real property assets across generations requires careful integration of Egyptian succession law, waqf provisions, and corporate holding structures.
