FAQ: Egyptian lawyer who speaks English

1. What does “lawyer in Egypt for UK clients” actually mean?

A lawyer in Egypt for UK clients is a qualified Egyptian advocate who can explain the law and procedures in clear English, understands how UK solicitors work, and is able to coordinate filings and hearings inside Egypt on your behalf.

At ANGLO–NILE, instructions are coordinated from the UK while the company collaborates with Egypt-licensed lawyers who appear before the courts in Egypt. This model lets UK clients communicate in English, agree a written plan, and still have their case run under Egyptian law.

2. Can I get advice on Egyptian law while I am in the UK?

Yes. You can receive detailed advice on Egyptian law from the UK without travelling to Egypt. Most consultations are carried out remotely via video call or phone, supported by scanned documents and follow-up emails summarising the advice.

Where a written opinion or expert report is required – for example for UK family proceedings – ANGLO–NILE prepares structured reports explaining how Egyptian law treats divorce, child arrangements, inheritance, or enforcement, and how this may interact with any orders made by a UK court.

3. What should foreign buyers know about registering property in Egypt?

Many visitors ask about registering property in Egypt as a foreigner. In practice the process usually involves: checking the seller’s title, preparing a bilingual sale contract, arranging any Power of Attorney you need, and then registering the transaction with the relevant Egyptian authority.

An English-speaking Egyptian lawyer can:

• Review title deeds and historic contracts for risks or gaps.
• Draft or amend bilingual contracts so that the English matches the Arabic text.
• Coordinate notarised Powers of Attorney from the UK to Egypt.
• Oversee registration at the Real Estate Publicity Department or New Urban Communities Authority.

4. Do I need to meet the Egyptian lawyer in person?

Not always. Most UK-based clients prefer to work remotely. Identity checks, document collection, and signing can usually be completed using certified copies, notarisation, and appointments at the Egyptian Consulate in London or other countries where you live.

In-person meetings in Egypt can be arranged where your case genuinely requires it, for example to sign at a court, registry, or notary office.

5. How is an English-speaking Egyptian lawyer regulated?

The collaborating lawyers in Egypt are regulated by the Egyptian Bar Association. Where work is carried out for UK proceedings, you may also see references to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in England & Wales. This gives UK clients confidence that the service follows clear professional and ethical standards.

6. How do I start working with ANGLO–NILE?
