Shalakany had the pleasure of organizing and hosting the Shalakany Arbitration Moot 2026, bringing together talented law students from across Egypt to compete in a rigorous and engaging arbitration advocacy experience.
The moot gave participants the opportunity to grapple with complex issues of international arbitration, sharpen their written and oral advocacy skills, and plead before an esteemed panel of arbitrators and practitioners. This year’s rounds were marked by exceptional performances across the board, reflecting how strong and vibrant the arbitration mooting scene in Egypt has become.
Warm congratulations to The British University in Egypt, the Champion of the Shalakany Arbitration Moot 2026, and to EDSC IDAI, who finished as Runner Up after an impressive run. Special recognition also goes to Khadija El Mawaziny (EDSC IDAI), who earned the Best Oralist award for her outstanding advocacy, clarity, and courtroom presence.
We are deeply grateful to our arbitrators, judges, volunteers, and participating universities for their time, commitment, and enthusiasm. Your support plays a vital role in nurturing Egypt’s mooting community and empowering the next generation of arbitration practitioners.
We look forward to building on this momentum in future editions of the Shalakany Arbitration Moot.

We are pleased to share that our Dispute Resolution practice has successfully secured litigation victory before both the Court of Appeal and the Court of Cassation in a high-stakes dispute.

Acting for a group of leading global technology companies - among the most prominent players in the digital economy - we successfully defended against claims of circa USD 154 billion.

Notably, this case is most likely the largest claim - by quantum - ever brought before the Egyptian courts.

This outcome reflects our team’s depth of expertise in handling sophisticated, high-value disputes, as well as our ability to navigate cases involving intricate factual and legal frameworks.

The Shalakany team handling this matter was led by Muhammad Ussama (Senior Partner) and comprised of Mahmoud El-Omdah (Senior Associate), Farida Wagdy (Mid-Level Associate), and Mariam Adly (Associate).

Commenting on the outcome, Muhammad Ussama stated: “We are proud to have secured this positive outcome for our clients and to have finally lifted the considerable pressures that come with such a highly quantified claim.
