Career Overview
Dr. Sahar Imam has extensive legal experience in litigation and dispute management, representing companies, institutions, and individuals before the Court of Cassation and the Supreme Administrative Court, and handling complex civil and commercial disputes. Across her career she has led major litigation files demanding precise legal analysis, a clear procedural strategy, and end-to-end follow-through across every tier of litigation.
Her work centres on studying the legal positions in disputes, setting fitting strategies, and steering each case through to its final stage. She supervises legal teams and directs the work on multi-party or legally complex matters in a way that secures the best possible protection of client interests.
Her experience extends to arbitration and dispute resolution, having led disputes that demand workable solutions outside conventional litigation, alongside legal counsel on managing legal risk in active or potential disputes. Her work also covers fine procedural matters, cassation and supreme-administrative appeals, enforcement follow-through, and management of disputes with significant financial or economic impact.

She also advises a range of entities and institutions and helps lead legal files that require a blend of practical experience and strategic vision.
She is the former Dean of the Faculty of Law at Sadat City University and currently serves as Head of the Civil and Commercial Procedure Department — a record that reflects deep procedural expertise and supports her leadership in complex disputes.
