Professional Profile
Hisham Fouad Hassan is a Senior Legal Consultant at KH Legal with a legal career spanning four decades since his 1984 law degree. Admitted to the Egyptian Bar in 1990, his courtroom career culminated in admission before the Egyptian Court of Cassation, the Supreme Administrative Court and the Supreme Constitutional Court — the highest benches a litigator can address. Since 2000 he has practised continuously in the United Arab Emirates, more than twenty-six years of advising individuals, multinational corporations and government-related entities under UAE law.
That combination — a cassation advocate’s courtroom formation and a quarter-century of UAE consultancy — shapes how he works. Complex disputes are approached the way the highest courts read them: through the file. His practice has always centred on the disciplined side of the profession: drafting legal opinions and memoranda that hold up under scrutiny, building pleadings and defence submissions for high-value disputes, and managing litigation from commencement through final judgment.
Clients bring him both sides of legal life: the contentious work — civil, commercial, criminal, labour, real estate, tenancy and maritime disputes, and arbitration — and the advisory work of contracts, settlements, regulatory compliance and risk management that keeps matters out of court in the first place.
