‘I mainly worked with Nour Gheith and Yasmeen Qotbi. Both of them were very responsive and would respond to my queries within an hour or so. They were very patient – the non-Egypt lender had many questions, but they answered each and every question clearly. As a lead counsel, I felt they provided very strong support on the deal, and would definitely reach out to them again if I need Egypt assistance.’
