COMPANY & COMMERCIAL LAW  
Setting Up in the U.A.E.  
 

We advise on all legal areas of interest to international companies seeking to do business
in – or with – the United Arab Emirates: either through the incorporation of a limited liability company,
a joint-stock company, a free zone company, or the registration of a branch or a representative office;
or using commercial agency agreements, distribution or franchising agreements.

We advise on the most appropriate corporate vehicle to meet the client’s commercial objectives.
     
Mergers & Acquisitions  
 

We advise on company mergers and acquisitions, domestic or cross-border, and corporate restructuring.
We provide strategic advice, draft and negotiate all necessary documentation and contracts, advise on
and assist with due diligence, local licensing issues, business transfer agreements, and transfer of
employment contracts.

Our cross-disciplinary expertise also allows us to advise on the risks relating to any transitional or on-going information technology services in mergers, acquisitions and joint-ventures.

     
Distribution, Agency, Franchise  
 

We have extensive experience advising on, drafting and negotiating, commercial agency, distribution or
franchise agreements.

 

Understanding the investment risks, structuring the transaction, and planning the exit are areas where our legal advice makes the difference.
