Our International Estate Planning Services
The UAE offers significant opportunities for international businesses and investors, but decisions concerning ownership, contracts, investment structures, property and regulated activities can have long-term legal and financial consequences.
Our role is to help clients understand the legal position before important decisions are made, identify potential risks and establish structures appropriate to their objectives.
Before You Invest
Legal due diligence can identify issues relating to ownership, contracts, counterparties, corporate structures and regulatory requirements before capital is committed.
When Establishing in the UAE
We advise on the legal structure of UAE operations, corporate arrangements, agreements between shareholders or partners and the requirements associated with the proposed activity.
