Meet Mahmoud
Mahmoud Saeed brings approximately 13 years of legal experience to Motei & Associates in Dubai, including eight years in Egypt and five years in the UAE. A member of the firm’s Litigation Department since May 2026, he combines a background in Egyptian litigation with practical experience in UAE dispute management and legal advisory work.
His early practice in Egypt involved civil, commercial and criminal matters, with responsibilities covering legal research, evidence analysis, drafting pleadings and attending court hearings. His subsequent work in the UAE has included both in-house legal counsel and law firm roles, bringing a commercial perspective to contract review, dispute assessment and case preparation.
Area of Expertise
Mahmoud’s work focuses on civil, commercial, real estate and tenancy disputes, debt recovery and enforcement. He reviews the underlying documents, identifies the issues that shape a claim or defence, and helps clients assess procedural risks, settlement options and the steps required to pursue enforcement.
Arabic legal drafting is a central part of his practice. He prepares legal memoranda, statements of claim, appeal submissions and procedural applications, developing arguments that connect the evidence with the relevant legal framework. His approach helps clients understand their position and the practical choices available as a matter progresses.
He also drafts, reviews and negotiates commercial contracts and settlement agreements, drawing on his corporate advisory experience to assess contractual obligations and legal exposure. His wider experience includes employment disputes, police complaints and follow-up on criminal proceedings, alongside coordination with external counsel and relevant authorities.
Education & Certifications
Mahmoud holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from Banha University, awarded in 2013. His native language is Arabic, and he has professional working proficiency in English.
