In today’s fast-moving global market, businesses need more than a lawyer, they need a legal strategist who understands how corporate, tax, and trade frameworks work together. I’m that bridge. I am an international corporate and Tax Lawyer with 8 years of professional experience in cross-border transactions, international tax coordination, mergers & acquisitions, and global business structuring. I used to work at Deloitte for years, where I advised multinational clients on international tax, M&A, and global trade matters involving complex multi-jurisdictional operations and transactions. I currently serve as a Director at a U.S law firm, where I work on sophisticated international matters involving transaction support, due diligence, corporate structuring, tax strategy coordination, and cross-border advisory work for international clients, investors, and businesses. Alongside my role, I founded IronClad Global Advisors LLC, an international advisory and consulting platform, with international lawyers and experienced consultant, created with the objective of making high-quality international advisory services more accessible to businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors who may not be in a position to engage large institutional firms at traditional Big Four or international law firm fee structures. Core Areas of Focus: • Cross-Border Structuring & International Expansion • Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) • Corporate Advisory & Strategic Consulting • International Tax Coordination • Due Diligence & Transaction Support • Global Trade & Regulatory Advisory • Commercial & Corporate Documentation • Egypt, GCC, EU & U.S. Market Advisory Why Clients Work With Me: • Deloitte and international advisory experience • Strong commercial and business-oriented approach • Access to an international network of experienced professionals • Institutional-quality work with the flexibility and efficiency of an independent consulting platform • Clear communication, responsiveness, and practical execution Whether you are expanding internationally, evaluating a transaction, structuring a business, or navigating cross-border operational challenges, I focus on delivering practical solutions aligned with your business objectives. Feel free to reach out to discuss your project with a free of charge 30-minutes consultation to explore how we can support your business and strategic objectives.
