In January 2011 Trowers & Hamlins' Egypt office merged with Nour Law Firm, a group led by senior partner Mohamed Nour. Nour joined with six other lawyers and added high level expertise in dispute resolution and arbitration.
The office will continue to be led by UK/Egyptian lawyer Sara Hinton. Trowers is widely recognised as a leading project finance firm but it has developed a strong reputation in banking M&A, based in part on its role in bank privatisations, where among other things it advised the international bidder that acquired Bank of Alexandria.
The firm wins regular large mandates from international and local banks in financing and corporate ventures, and in 2011 it saw Hinton and senior associate Ariq Ali advising a local investment bank on a joint-venture with an Italian financial advisory company to establish an investment bank and provider of sharia-compliant retail banking.
