The Investment Deal Is Not Won at the Signing Table

The most successful investments are rarely won during negotiations,they are built long before the agreement is signed.

Whether entering a new market, establishing a joint venture, acquiring a business, or expanding operations, the legal framework behind an investment often determines its long-term value far more than the commercial terms themselves.

Years of advising multinational corporations, foreign investors, and local businesses have reinforced one consistent reality: sustainable investments are built on legal certainty, strategic planning, and regulatory compliance.

A well-structured investment should address:

• Corporate structure and ownership strategy

• Shareholder rights and corporate governance

• Regulatory approvals and compliance requirements

• Legal due diligence and contractual protections

• Risk allocation and liability management

• Exit strategies and dispute resolution mechanisms

Today's legal advisors do far more than review documents after commercial decisions have been made.

The right legal counsel helps investors identify risks before they arise, structure transactions efficiently, navigate regulatory frameworks, and protect business objectives throughout the investment lifecycle.

At Hegazy & Partners, we work alongside domestic and international investors on foreign direct investment (FDI), corporate structuring, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, commercial transactions, and cross-border investments, delivering practical legal solutions that support sustainable business growth.

Because successful investments are not built on opportunity alone.

They are built on certainty.

Significant Victory in a High-Value Tax Dispute

Hegazy & Partners is pleased to announce a significant victory secured by its Litigation Department in a complex corporate income tax dispute.

The matter was successfully handled by our Litigation Department, led by Mr. Zaki Hassan, Partner and Head of Litigation, and Mr. Mahmoud Khalifa, Senior Litigation Lawyer, with the dedicated efforts and contributions of our Associates, Mr. Hassan Abo Hashima, Mr. Mahmoud Hamroush, Mr. Pierre Farahat, and Mr. Aly El Feky.

The team represented the client in challenging a tax assessment relating to several fiscal years.

Following the legal submissions and arguments advanced by our litigation team, and as supported by the findings of the court-appointed expert, the Egyptian State Council issued a favorable judgment setting aside the contested tax assessment and substantially reducing the client’s assessed taxable income.

The judgment resulted in a reduction exceeding the equivalent of USD 4 million in the amounts forming the basis of the disputed tax assessment, including amounts subject to the provisions of the Egyptian Income Tax Law No. 91 of 2005.

This judgment represents a significant outcome in the field of tax litigation and reflects the importance of combining rigorous legal analysis with a thorough understanding of the financial and technical issues underlying complex tax disputes. The legal principles and arguments upheld in this matter may also have broader relevance to comparable tax disputes within the hospitality sector.

This achievement demonstrates Hegazy & Partners’ continued strength in representing clients in complex, high-value disputes before the Egyptian courts and administrative judiciary.

We congratulate our Litigation Department on this important result and remain committed to protecting our clients’ interests through strategic advocacy and technically rigorous legal representation.

The Growing Role of the OIC Arbitration Centre in International Dispute Resolution

As investment flows and commercial relationships continue to expand across the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, the demand for sophisticated, neutral, and internationally credible dispute resolution mechanisms has become increasingly significant.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Arbitration Centre (OIC-AC) was established to meet this need by providing an institutional framework for the resolution of international commercial and investment disputes. Through its Arbitration Rules and institutional framework, the Centre supports businesses, financial institutions, sovereign entities, and investors by promoting efficient, impartial, and enforceable dispute resolution across jurisdictions.

The Centre also reflects the broader evolution of dispute resolution within OIC markets, where legal certainty, investor confidence, and effective enforcement mechanisms are essential to supporting cross-border investment, infrastructure development, international trade, and Islamic finance.

International arbitration has long been a cornerstone of Hegazy & Partners' practice. The firm regularly advises clients on complex commercial, construction, infrastructure, energy, banking, and investment disputes, as well as arbitration strategy, enforcement of arbitral awards, and multi-jurisdictional risk management.

Our practice is further distinguished by extensive experience in Islamic finance. Dr. Waleed Hegazy has advised governments, financial institutions, multinational corporations, and investors on Sharia-compliant financing structures, Sukuk issuances, cross-border investments, and regulatory frameworks for more than three decades.

His service as a Board Member of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) further reflects his contribution to the development of internationally recognized governance and Sharia standards for the Islamic finance industry.

Against this backdrop, Dr. Hegazy's recent appointment to the OIC-AC List of Arbitrators represents a natural extension of a practice dedicated to international arbitration, cross-border commerce, and the advancement of dispute resolution within OIC jurisdictions.
As global investment continues to diversify and commercial activity across OIC member states accelerates, institutions such as the OIC Arbitration Centre will play an increasingly important role in strengthening legal certainty, enhancing investor confidence, and supporting sustainable economic growth.

We extend our sincere congratulations to Dr. Hegazy on this significant professional distinction and look forward to his continued contribution to the advancement of international arbitration and the work of the OIC Arbitration Centre.

Egypt's Port Expansion Strategy: The Legal Framework Behind Maritime Infrastructure and Global Trade Corridors

Egypt is accelerating its transformation into a leading global maritime and logistics hub through the expansion and modernization of key ports, including East Port Said, Alexandria Port, and Ain Sokhna. Positioned along the Suez Canal, these strategic developments are strengthening Egypt's role in connecting Europe, Africa, and Asia while supporting international trade and supply chain resilience.

Behind every major port infrastructure project lies a sophisticated legal framework that enables investment, manages risk, and ensures long-term operational success.

Key legal considerations include:

• Long-term concession agreements for port operations

• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) structures

• Maritime regulatory compliance under Egyptian law

• EPC contracts for construction, dredging, and infrastructure development

• Customs and international trade compliance

• Project finance and sovereign-backed guarantees

• Risk allocation between public authorities, investors, lenders, and operators

As global logistics networks continue to evolve, Egypt's port expansion strategy presents significant opportunities for international investors, shipping companies, logistics operators, infrastructure developers, and financial institutions. Successfully navigating these opportunities requires legal structuring that aligns commercial objectives with regulatory compliance and long-term investment security.

At Hegazy & Partners, we advise local and international clients on complex infrastructure and maritime projects, delivering strategic legal solutions across project development, financing, concessions, regulatory compliance, and cross-border investment.
