Regional leaders in dispute resolution
As Egypt’s premier arbitration practice and one of MENA’s leaders in dispute resolution, we offer our clients cutting-edge strategic services and superior results.
Youssef & Partners is now Youssef + Partners.
Our philosophy is simple – It’s about YOU! Our evolution from Youssef & Partners to Youssef + Partners emphasizes this focus. It’s about putting YOU at the center of everything we do, whether YOU are a client, partner, or member of our Y+P family.
You+Us is a winning formula. We foster and maintain strong, long-lasting, and meaningful partnerships. We provide game-changing strategies and significant added value. We create superior results. We win for you. That is the Y+P edge.
Clients come to us because WE WIN. We turn the odds around. “We let clients focus on doing their business and take away the stress of fights, which is a part of business life. ... that is the ultimate client high. CEOs go about business as usual, while the big fight on the side is muted, leaving the business unaffected and ending on a better high: a good outcome. The other thing is that traditional law bills time. We bill value." Karim A. Youssef, Arab Finance, 2022
Our dispute resolution practice routinely handles some of the region’s most complex and significant cases. “With expertise in international law, [Karim] frequently represents clients in multibillion-dollar arbitrations seated around the world.” Chambers Global Guide, 2022. We have unparalleled knowledge of local and regional regulatory frameworks and business practices.
Creating a winning formula and executing a recipe for success is what we do best. We help you see the bottom line and confidently achieve your desired outcomes. As described by one of our clients "Karim always gets down to the bottom line, completely masters the facts of the case, and distils it down to its essence." – Chambers Global Guide 2023
We provide corporations and high-net-worth individuals with strategic advice to resolve and manage disputes in superior ways. As noted in the Chambers Global Guide 2022, “Karim is an exceptional lawyer, knowledgeable, a master of strategy, and he thinks light years ahead.” We bring a wealth of experience and expertise to every engagement. We combine deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge legal analysis to help clients achieve their goals and succeed in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing global marketplace. Our legal services are designed to be a game-changer for your business. As firm CEO Karim A. Youssef describes it: “Think of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars moving hands in an arbitration. A case’s outcome can affect a business’s profitability, growth plans, workforce, and even economic viability” (Forbes Middle East, 2021).
