Operational Service

UAE business law.

UAE legislation works differently from the system you're used to. Knowing the legal ground before you decide is far cheaper than correcting it afterwards.

01

Corporate law

Structure, memorandum, shareholder relations, share transfers and governing bodies.

02

Mergers and acquisitions

Due diligence, contract structure and management of the transfer process.

03

Economic and competition law

Commercial contracts, distribution and agency relationships, competition rules.

04

Dispute resolution

Contractual disputes, debt recovery and guidance through arbitration and court processes.

Advisory rates

A short question may need 30 minutes; if you're running a transfer, an hourly package fits better.

DurationFee

10-hour packageAED 5,000

Hourly packages can be drawn down in parts over the period.

All fees are inclusive of 5% VAT.

Prices are indicative. Official fees and free zone tariffs change during the year; the exact figure is confirmed in writing in your quote.

  • Before signing a contract. Whether the terms favour you should not be something you learn later.
  • When forming a partnership. Writing the separation scenario at the start is easier than arguing it at the end.
  • In transfers and acquisitions. Due diligence is what confirms the other side actually owns what you're buying.
  • When working with parties abroad. Governing law and forum determine everything once a dispute starts.
  • When a compliance question arises. Administrative penalties in the UAE can be heavy; asking is the cheapest step.

Scope note

This service is legal advisory for your business decisions. Where representation before a court or tribunal is required, we work with — and refer you to — a law firm licensed for that matter and jurisdiction.

Thirty minutes is usually enough to point at the right route.
