Sarie Eldin & Partnerr

What Sarie Eldin & Partnerr does

Sarie Eldin & Partners is an Egyptian law firm founded in 2007 by Dr. Hani Sarie-Eldin, headquartered at Smart Village in Cairo with a secondary office in Zamalek. The firm focuses on business and commercial law, with core practice areas spanning capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, infrastructure and energy, trade and services, litigation, and arbitration. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's product is bespoke legal advisory and representation delivered by its partners and associates on complex, high-value matters.

The firm's client base is concentrated among large corporate, banking, governmental, and quasi-governmental entities in Egypt and the wider region. Clients named in the firm's materials include Commercial International Bank (CIB), Banque Misr, Talaat Mustafa Group, the Egyptian Ministry of Finance, QNB, Etisalat Misr, DP World, and Coca-Cola Egypt. Revenue is generated through standard professional services fee structures — hourly rates, transactional fees, and retainer arrangements — tied to the size and complexity of each mandate.

The firm has handled several landmark Egyptian transactions, including an EGP 200 billion fund-related matter, Talaat Mustafa Group's $800 million sukuk, and Eastern Company's $625 million transaction. It has entered strategic alliances with PwC and Baker McKenzie to advise on sovereign wealth fund-related work, was selected as local counsel by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and maintains an academic partnership with Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. It has been recognized in international legal directories IFLR1000 and Global Chambers consistently between 2015 and 2023.
