Egypt is the 16th largest country in the world by population with 80 million people, but it is underrepresented by top law firms. DLA Piper and Baker & McKenzie both have offices in Cairo, and both have shut down operations for the moment. Most businesses in Cairo remain closed as the protests grow both in size and intensity.
