Structured solutions for ownership, protection, and long-term planning.
We provide advisory on the establishment of efficient corporate structures in the UAE, supporting asset holding, succession planning, and the separation of personal, family, and business interests.
Advisory on SPVs, foundations, holding structures, and succession planning aligned with UAE frameworks.
Establishing a company is only one element of a broader structuring strategy. How ownership is organised, how assets are held, and how control is maintained can have long-term implications for risk, taxation, governance, and succession.
In the UAE, a range of legal structures are available to support these objectives. Selecting and combining them appropriately is key to creating a framework that is both efficient and sustainable.
We advise on structuring solutions that align with your commercial, personal, and long-term planning requirements.
The UAE offers a well-developed and increasingly sophisticated environment for corporate structuring. This includes the availability of common law jurisdictions such as DIFC and ADGM, alongside local frameworks that support asset protection and succession planning.
These structures can be used independently or in combination, depending on the level of control, protection, and flexibility required.
Each structure serves a distinct purpose. The right choice — or combination — depends on assets, governance needs, and long-term objectives.
SPVs are standalone legal entities used to hold assets, shares, or investments. They are commonly established within financial free zones such as DIFC or ADGM.
Foundations are legal entities without shareholders, typically used for wealth structuring, asset protection, and succession planning.
Holding structures involve the use of a parent entity to own and manage shares in one or more operating companies.
Succession planning ensures that ownership and control of assets are transferred in a clear and structured manner.
Corporate structuring requires careful alignment between legal frameworks, personal objectives, and commercial realities.
We assess your current and future requirements to recommend a structure that is:
Our role is to ensure that the structure is not only effective at the outset, but remains fit for purpose as your circumstances evolve.
Following an initial consultation, a detailed proposal is prepared outlining the recommended structure, implementation steps, timelines, and associated costs.
This ensures full clarity from the outset, with a transparent and considered approach and no hidden fees.
Schedule a consultation to discuss the most suitable structuring approach for your requirements.
