From Kuwait to Cairo… An Arab Legal Extension Backed by Over Half a Century of Expertise

Taher Group Law Firm for Advocacy and Legal Consultations—an international Kuwaiti legal brand established in 1969 and a member of the global alliance TAGLaw—continues to expand its regional and international footprint through its professional collaboration with Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl Sayed, Cassation and Supreme Constitutional Court Lawyer in the Arab Republic of Egypt. This partnership aims to deliver specialized legal services in cross-border matters between Kuwait, Egypt, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

Mr. Abdulaziz Taher Al-Khateeb, Founder of the Group and recipient of the Middle East Lifetime Achievement Award in Law, affirms:

“Our collaboration with Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl represents a natural extension of the Group’s long-standing mission, which has carried Kuwait’s legal voice into regional and international arenas for over half a century, within a framework of professional partnerships committed to the local laws of every jurisdiction in which we operate.”

A Legal Leader with Over 35 Years of Experience

Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl Sayed is one of Egypt’s most distinguished lawyers, with more than 35 years of experience in civil, real estate, commercial, and arbitration law.

He holds an LL.B. from Ain Shams University (1990), and is licensed to practice before the Egyptian Court of Cassation, Supreme Constitutional Court, and all other levels of the judiciary.

He has represented local and multinational clients—including companies, individuals, and Kuwaiti and GCC investors—in major cases involving the enforcement of foreign judgments, commercial arbitration, investment contracts, real estate disputes, and invalid transactions arising from fraud or forgery.

Cross-Border Cases and Enforcement of Kuwaiti Judgments in Egypt

Through this cooperation, Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl and his specialized legal team represent our clients pursuant to the governance and global quality standards adopted by Taher Legal Group. The cross-border services provided include initiating procedures to affix executory formulas to Kuwaiti judgments in Egypt and pursuing their enforcement before the competent judicial authorities against judgment debtors residing in the country.

This collaboration has resulted in effective enforcement outcomes for Kuwaiti citizens and major corporations, enhancing judicial cooperation between the two countries and reinforcing Taher Legal Group’s standing as a trusted Arab legal authority in cross-border matters.

Protection of Real Estate Ownership and Nullification of Invalid Transactions

The office, in cooperation with Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl, also manages sensitive matters involving the verification, consolidation, and registration of real estate owned by Kuwaitis in Egypt—particularly villas and apartments purchased through preliminary contracts or special powers of attorney.

The work includes real estate ownership governance, title verification, obtaining approvals for foreign ownership from the Egyptian Ministry of Justice, and handling all related property tax filings to ensure full compliance with Egyptian law.

Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl notes:

“We have handled numerous cases involving dispositions made without the knowledge of the Kuwaiti owner, and succeeded in restoring rights through final judgments, while documenting ownership before the relevant authorities and the Military Aerial Survey Department to guarantee the integrity and protection of titles from any manipulation.”

Debt Recovery, Liquidation, and Insolvency of Kuwaiti Companies Operating in Egypt

The office also handles corporate liquidation files, insolvency and restructuring proceedings, in addition to judicial and amicable cross-border debt recovery.

Under the supervision of Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl, the legal team works to safeguard Kuwaiti and GCC investments in Egypt and protect shareholder rights before the competent authorities, the Investment Authority, and relevant bodies—within a complex legal environment requiring deep understanding of both Egyptian and Kuwaiti legal systems.

Significant Judicial Achievements and a Distinguished Legal Partnership

The collaboration between Taher Legal Group and Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl has yielded notable success in matters involving medical liability, commercial agreements, and enforcement of international monetary judgments.

These accomplishments reaffirm that the combination of Kuwait’s longstanding expertise since 1969 with Egypt’s profound legal heritage forms a model of exemplary Arab professional cooperation.

Dr. Fawaz Khaled Al-Khateeb, Managing Partner, states:

“We believe that our partnership with Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl reflects a strategic vision to provide unified legal services that protect Kuwaiti and GCC investors and embodies synergy between Arab legal systems within a framework of governance and professionalism.”

Global Quality Standards and a Solid Legal Identity

Attorney Khaled Taher Al-Khateeb emphasizes:

“Taher Legal Group operates under an international quality framework certified by ISO 9001 from Lloyd’s Register in the United Kingdom and is among the first Arab legal firms globally ranked by Chambers, Legal 500, and IFLR1000.

Our collaboration in Cairo is rooted in the Group’s philosophy of building bridges of justice between Arab nations while respecting each jurisdiction’s legislative framework and adhering to the highest standards of integrity and transparency.”

Cairo… The New Platform of Arab Justice

Through this vision, the partnership between Taher Legal Group and Attorney Rafik Mohamed Fadl establishes a new era of integrated Arab legal practice—combining Kuwaiti heritage with Egyptian precision—to form a legal bridge that safeguards investors and citizens while strengthening trust in cross-border Arab justice.
