Rapidly expanding US firm White & Case is launching an office in Cairo, Egypt, as a wave of global law firm investment into Africa gathers pace.
The move comes just five years after the Egyptian revolution of 2011, which many thought would hold back for economy for decades, whereas in reality the country has largely reclaimed the strong GDP growth experienced before the Arab Spring. The launch in Egypt marks White & Case’s second African office, having opened in Johannesburg in 1995. The new office is expected to open by October this year.
