Egypt’s Data Protection Law has officially moved into its operational phase.

With the issuance of the Executive Regulations, compliance is no longer theoretical. It is enforceable, structured, and time-sensitive.

Businesses operating in or targeting Egypt must now reassess their data governance frameworks, from registration and licensing to cross-border transfers and breach response.

We are pleased to share key highlights of what the Executive Regulations introduce, with a more detailed legal assessment to follow shortly.

Africa contributes less than 4% of global emissions, yet faces some of the world’s most devastating climate impacts. To secure a sustainable future, especially for climate-vulnerable regions like Africa, we must bridge the legislative gap and empower parliaments to enact laws that meet the scale and urgency of the climate crisis. The Model Climate Change Law (MCCL) is now published, providing a model framework to guide climate legislation across African countries.

As Africa faces some of the most severe consequences of climate change, the enactment of tailored, forward-looking legislation is critical to driving sustainable development and ensuring climate resilience across the continent.

We are thrilled to have contributed to the development of the MCCL for Africa, launched at a high-level event in Abuja, Nigeria, by AGNES and NILDS.

Representing the Arab Republic of Egypt, our team, comprised of Andrew Afifi (Senior Associate), Nadine Neamatalla (Junior Associate) and Asser Negm El-din (Junior Associate), worked in close coordination with the وزارة البيئة المصرية - Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Finance - Egypt to shape a legislative framework grounded in Africa’s priorities.

We’re proud of our team’s role in helping lay the foundation for stronger, climate-resilient governance across the continent.

Special thanks to Joanna Khatib for connecting us and facilitating the key relationships behind the MCCL for Africa.
