Testimonials

  • ‘I have worked with Adsero for over 2 years and have found them to be above and beyond in the Egyptian legal market. They are fluent in English and Arabic and well-versed in meeting expectations from an English perspective. The advice has always been very prompt, accurate and very practical. My primary contact is Malak Khalil but for employment-related matters, I have dealt primarily with Alia Monieb and Sadeem Abdelsalam. ’
