  • Overview
  • Our Team
  • Our Corporate Structuring Team takes pride in its well established reputation as a leader in the industry. Over the years, we have been at the forefront of guiding some of the most noteworthy restructurings in the UAE to successful conclusions. Our track record speaks for itself, showcasing our commitment to excellence and innovation in corporate structuring.

    In the fast-paced business environment, we understand the importance of agility. Our team responds promptly to the evolving needs of our clients, ensuring timely and effective solutions.

    The potential to use innovative corporate structuring techniques to further protect the interests of local and foreign investors is a specific practice area which has evolved significantly over the past decade, due to the licensing and structuring restrictions applicable under relevant UAE laws and regulations as well as their practical application.

    Negotiation is an art, and our experts excel in it. We bring to the table a wealth of experience in negotiating complex corporate structures, ensuring that your interests are safeguarded and your objectives achieved. We have managed to work with the relevant licensing authorities to accept our various corporate structures on the principle that such structures are devised with the objective of attracting and facilitating foreign investment into the country.

    We are dedicated to delivering legal solutions that go beyond, maximizing value for our clients. We delve into the intricacies to identify opportunities that create new strategic avenues for your organization.
