Amr Elshourbagy is an Associate in Al Tamimi & Company’s Shipping & Maritime practice, based in Dubai International Financial Centre, focusing on Maritime Law. He focuses on shipping, commercial and civil litigation.

He advises clients on contentious and non-contentious matters, regularly drafting and reviewing contracts, memoranda and pleadings, while also delivering tailored legal opinions on complex disputes. His practice areas are shipping, aviation and logistics, and arbitration, with his sector being transport and logistics.

Amr’s background combines both prosecutorial and shipping law expertise. Before joining Al Tamimi, he worked with a leading shipping and P&I litigation firm in Egypt, where he handled marine insurance and shipping disputes on behalf of P&I Clubs, shipowners and operators. His work there gave him hands-on experience with claims involving cargo damage, collisions, personal injury and marine pollution.

He subsequently served for over five years as a Deputy Public Prosecutor in Egypt, where he was responsible for investigating and prosecuting serious criminal cases. This role sharpened his litigation skills, advocacy, and ability to manage high-stakes proceedings before the courts.

By combining his prosecutorial background with his shipping law experience, Amr brings a unique perspective to handling maritime disputes. He is particularly adept at building litigation strategies that balance technical legal knowledge with practical case management, ensuring effective outcomes for clients across the shipping and transport sectors.

His recent experience includes drafting memoranda for numerous cases before the court relating to cargo claims and maritime debts, obtaining favourable rulings for multinational clients, providing legal advice and opinions to large international shipping entities, and drafting multimillion-dollar agreements.

He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in International Legal Commercial Transactions and Logistics from the Arab Academy of Science and Maritime Technology, Alexandria (2018), and a Licentiate of Law from the English Department, Faculty of Law, Alexandria University (2016). He was admitted to the Egyptian Bar Association in 2019.
