Overview
The UAE has emerged as one of the most sophisticated corporate jurisdictions globally, offering a mix of civil law traditions under Federal Law No. 32 of 2021 (UAE Companies Law) and common-law regimes under DIFC and ADGM.
Investors and multinationals benefit from flexible corporate vehicles, 100% foreign ownership opportunities, and tax-efficient frameworks.
Corporate law in Dubai governs the incorporation of companies, corporate governance, shareholder rights, mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and liquidations.
Yet, it is also a field of complexity: foreign investment restrictions, ESR regulations, corporate tax obligations, and UBO disclosures require nuanced legal guidance.
How Can Corporate Lawyers Help?
Company Incorporation: Choosing the right jurisdiction, mainland, free zone, or offshore, is fundamental to tax, ownership, and compliance outcomes.

M&A & Restructuring: Advising on share swaps, mergers, capital increases, and regulatory approvals.
