Firm profile:

With a solid base in Egypt, Ibrachy and Dermarkar (I&D) has been one of the foremost firms offering its expertise services since its establishment in 1932. I&D is a key player in areas including corporate law, banking, intellectual property, finance, employment law, insurance law, and commercial law – to name a few – covering the different sectors with a continuous increase in its client base for almost eight decades now.

Through its collaboration with some of the leading global law organizations, I&D has access to prominent research libraries and legal databases with a network playing a big role in facilitating efficient internal and external attorney-client communications. I&D has a strong determination in offering its employees the needed trainings guaranteeing up-to-date strategies and services ensuring further credibility and hands-on expertise.

Gaining the confidence of its clients over the years and keeping its promise for value-for-money tailor made services, I&D has been a major player in the international corporate scene led in Egypt. With an outstanding level of performance with every client dealt with as a partner, I&D gains additional credit from its growing database.

Adding to I&D's credibility, it has always set a distance between its offerings and dealings with any political group despite its reputation; hence always distancing itself from any past, present, or future risks that could come with such controversial partnerships; an approach that has held I&D superior to other firms.

2010 was a busy year for the two-partner, seven-associate team at I&D, headed by the "versatile" Bahieldin Elibrachy. The year was marked by I&D acting as Egyptian council for an international law firm on a major £2bn dispute in the telecommunication sector. On the arbitration side, the firm obtained an award in favor of a hotel management company that filed a £2m case against a hotel and resort company in Egypt. Standout deals also included advising Nilesat on the financing of its new satellite by a group of international lenders headed by BNP, and acting as international counsel on a worldwide bond issue for a major energy distributor.
