Tahoun law firm launches Egypt’ s first smart digital platform for legal services

The Tahoun Smart platform presents a valuable solution for entrepreneurs and start-up founders who often face challenges in navigating legal procedures – especially the slow pace of company registration, reliance on paper-based processes and the difficulty of accessing affordable specialised legal services or understanding complex contract clauses. These hurdles can expose businesses to future risks, particularly concerning intellectual property rights and trademarks.
Through its user-friendly smart interface, the platform delivers a digital ecosystem that enables users to remotely complete a wide range of legal transactions – from company formation and contract drafting to legal consultations and certified document translation – all in a secure, paperless environment without the need to visit a law office.

Tahoun Law Firm has officially launched its smart platform, Tahoun Smart, the first fully integrated digital legal platform offering professional legal services for individuals and businesses online – securely and seamlessly – via a dedicated website and mobile app.

Dr Nermeen Tahoun, Founding Partner at Tahoun Law Firm, said:“ We launched the Tahoun Smart app in response to the national push towards digitalisation, aiming to offer more flexible and rapid legal services that meet the needs of entrepreneurs and start-ups. It serves as a powerful tool to simplify legal procedures and provide fast, accessible solutions – anytime and anywhere – without the hassle of paperwork or complex steps.”
