Alliance Law - Abou Elkheir, Al Rafie & Partners

Alliance Law is saddened by the loss of Dr. Nabil El Araby. Dr. Nabil El Araby was a distinguished diplomat, jurist, and statesman whose contributions left an indelible mark on both national and international stages. He was a key figure in shaping foreign policy, international law, and arbitration. Dr. El Araby served as Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and later as the Secretary-General of the Arab League. His legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Marwan Elaraby, Partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
