German-speaking lawyers in Egypt

German-speaking lawyers in Egypt are mostly found in Cairo and in the Red Sea resorts. Hurghada, El Gouna and Sharm el Sheikh host many German, Austrian and Swiss residents. Some run diving centres or hotels, others bought a flat for winter.

Common matters include property purchases and the registration of title, residence permits, marriage to an Egyptian partner and later divorce or custody issues. Business owners need advice on company formation, foreign ownership limits and staff contracts. Tourists sometimes need urgent help after an accident or a dispute with the police.

Egyptian courts work in Arabic, and German documents need legalisation and an Arabic translation. Property title in Egypt is often left unregistered, so ask your lawyer to check the seller's contract chain. Advocates must be members of the Egyptian Bar Association, and you can ask for a membership card. Agree on the fee in writing before work begins.
