The Egypt check
Six questions, one map of your exposure.
Answer quickly; the map updates as you go. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Do you have a contract with an Egyptian supplier, distributor or customer?
Do you collect or use personal data of people in Egypt?
Does anyone in Egypt owe you money?
Are you about to deal with an Egyptian company you have not checked?
Are you in a dispute, or expecting one, with an Egyptian party?
Have you been targeted by fraud connected to Egypt?
Your Egypt map
A quick orientation, not legal advice.
The check needs JavaScript to build your map. These are the six areas it covers:
Check the governing law, the dispute clause, and how the contract would be enforced in Egypt.
Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020) may apply; an applicability assessment is the first step.
Options run from a formal demand to proceedings and enforcement; acting early protects your position.
A check of the company register, court records and licences before you commit.
An early assessment of forum, evidence and remedies saves time and cost.
Keep the original messages and records; criminal and civil routes should be considered together.

Examples
How it usually plays out.
Negotiating with an Egyptian distributor
We review the contract and explain the issues, then support revisions and the negotiation. A later dispute becomes new, separately agreed work.
An Egyptian customer stopped paying
We assess the contract and documents, send a formal demand, and set out the options for proceedings and enforcement, with the cost of each.
Launching a product with users in Egypt
We assess whether Egypt's data-protection law applies, prepare the documents you need, and advise on putting them into practice.
A payment was diverted by a fraudster
A complaint is made in Egypt, and the civil options are considered alongside it.
