Biography
I attained my LL.B. from the University of Cairo in 2016 and followed it with a Public Law Diploma from Ain Shams University in 2018. I then went on to study the Comparative and International Dispute Resolution LL.M. in Queen Mary, University of London in 2019.
After the LL.M. I joined Amr & Partners Law Firm based in Cairo, Egypt, where my work was mainly based on energy, construction, and hospitality arbitration disputes, while drafting various shareholders’ agreements, mergers, and acquisitions.
Research
I have a significant interest in investment arbitration and how this is handled from its inception between the investor and states on the local level to the international level of the dispute before arbitral tribunals. Given the international application of the principles and theories of this arbitration process, it is of great interest to see how the different legal systems collide to regulate certain matters. This led me to realize that there are various regulatory systems being implemented to regulate third party funding, and seeing how these different legal frameworks could be calibrated to accommodate the theories of arbitration and find its basis in them without causing any figurative cracks in the arbitration system.
Thesis title
