We have extensive experience with Administrative law and We believe that Administrative Law is the “other side of the coin” when it comes to providing legal services to international clients. All interactions with Egyptian government authorities, including the regulatory bodies involve Administrative Law principles coming into play. Orders to de-list stocks from trading, issuance of licenses to operate in a specific activity, granting a concession to run an airport, or declaring a bidder qualified to participate in a bidding for agovernment owned company are all but

examples of administrative decrees and contracts all governed by Administrative Law.

The Administrative Law domain is one of the characteristics of the Egyptian legal system whereas Egypt maintains a two-jurisdiction judiciary consisting of the ordinary courts and

the administrative courts (the State’s Counsel). Unlike the case with ordinary courts, the State’s Counsel does not rely on a codified law but rather on judicial precedents, administrative custom, general principles of equity in its own context.
