Investing in Egypt
- Explaining the legal framework for investment across sectors, and procedures before the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones.

Company formation in Saudi Arabia
We accompany investors in setting up in the Kingdom: choosing the right legal form — such as a limited liability company, a joint-stock company or a regional headquarters — preparing the documents for the investment licence, and the services that follow incorporation, from contracts and accounting to ongoing advice.
