Regulatory Reform
Thebes Consultancy offers research and advice to sovereign clients, international organisations and development agencies in Egypt and throughout the Arab World, allowing them to develop draft legislation and legislative amendments, regulations, explanatory memoranda, and other documents. The growing interest in legal and institutional reform, business facilitation, and better governance in the Arab World has led governments, donors, and development agencies to increasingly focus their attention on improving the regulatory framework for doing business and ensuring a fair balance between the rights and obligations of various social players. Legal reform, however, is not merely about the production of legislation, but ensuring that such legislation is well understood, applied and integrated into the overall legal framework. Thebes Consultancy benefits from the expertise accumulated by Dr Bahaa-Eldin over the last twenty years in advising the Governments of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Libya and Yemen on various aspects of legislation and supervision pertaining to companies, investment, financial markets, prevention of money laundering, free zones and SME development.

Governance and Compliance
As the world continues to face turbulent business conditions and financial markets, it has become increasingly apparent that a new regulatory system is being set up, with stricter rules, better governance, higher levels of compliance and less tolerance for corrupt and dishonest practices.

It is in this context that Thebes Consultancy provides its clients with the tools, information, and skills to meet the challenging requirements and standards that are now expected of those active in banking, finance, asset management, company restructuring, and in business transactions in general. Compliance services offered by Thebes Consultancy include:
• Banks and financial institutions governance

Egypt Legal Update
Doing business in Egypt requires continuous and up-to-date knowledge of developments in the commercial environment. Changes in Companies Law, Tax Regulations, Customs Procedures, Central Bank Guidelines and other regulatory changes can be immediate and significant, and knowledge thereof is a condition for making the right decision. However, mere knowledge about an amendment to a law or a regulation is not enough. Such knowledge must be accurate, immediate, and in-depth. In this spirit, Thebes Consultancy has become one of the major providers of legal knowledge through its flagship report on legal updates, the Egypt Legal Update (ELU). Over the last few years, subscribers to the ELU received more than 150 legal opinions on legislative and regulatory changes to the capital market, banking, insurance, factoring, leasing, investment, dispute settlement, taxation, customs, corporate governance, labour, public procurement, licensing of touristic and industrial activities, mortgage finance, and companies law. Since 2012, Egypt Legal Update has been produced in both English and Arabic. Starting in September 2015, the ELU has been providing initial review of laws and regulations on a weekly basis. In 2016, the ELU will expand into an electronic database of searchable legal opinions, legislation and other legal documents.
