In the ever-evolving landscape of the legal world, certain firms rise above the rest, not just for their legal acumen but also for the profound impact they leave on the industry. Helal & Partners Law Firm, formerly known as Open Chance Law Firm, is one such institution that has made an indelible mark, rooted in the vision and unwavering dedication of its founder, Dr. Helal Farghaly.
Dr. Farghaly, a legal luminary with over 45 years of experience, established Open Chance & Associates Law firm in 2001. His extensive expertise spanned multiple jurisdictions and specialties, encompassing a diverse range of legal disciplines. Dr. Farghaly's journey through the legal and business world was marked by his passion for negotiation and his ability to conclude complex commercial contracts, navigate real estate development agreements, venture into capital markets, manage business acquisitions, and orchestrate business restructurings, strategies, and alliances.
His influence transcended borders, as he adeptly engaged in logistics, energy, litigation, intellectual property rights licensing, and assignments. Notably, his legacy encompassed his invaluable contributions to infrastructure projects and his involvement in arbitration, both at home and on the international stage. As a legal counsel, he lent his expertise to numerous companies across diverse industries, including IT, real estate development and property management, manufacturing, technology, and energy.
But Dr. Farghaly's journey was not merely a reflection of his professional achievements; it was also a testament to his unwavering commitment to the betterment of Egypt. He believed in the transformative potential of infrastructure and public-private partnership projects. In his eyes, these initiatives were the bedrock that attracted foreign and local investors to Egypt, ushering in a new era of opportunities for the country
Dr. Farghaly's dedication to the field of law extended far beyond his office. He was not only a legal luminary but also a visionary who witnessed and navigated the transformative power of two significant revolutions in Egypt. These events reshaped the business environment, giving rise to the demand for infrastructure and PPP projects and ushering in an era of economic transformation.
In 2021, during the tumultuous COVID-19 pandemic, the legal community and the world lost an exceptional leader when Dr. Farghaly passed away. It was a moment of profound loss, not only for his family but also for the legal fraternity. As a law firm, we pay the most respectful tribute to his memory, for Dr. Farghaly's legacy lives on in Helal & Partners Law Firm.
To honor his memory, Ms. Hader Helal, his daughter, and the new managing partner of the firm, decided to rename the law firm as Helal & Partners. This symbolic gesture serves as a tribute to her father's profound influence on the firm, while also ensuring that his memory continues to inspire and guide our path forward.
