F.A.Q.

Your Strategic Questions, Answered.


How do you ensure your legal advice aligns with our commercial goals?

We start with your business objective and timeline—then map legal options to commercial impact (risk, revenue, execution speed). You’ll get a clear recommendation, alternatives where relevant, and a decision trail your leadership team can rely on. That keeps legal strategy commercially relevant and board-ready.

What is your process for reviewing a commercial contract quickly?

We use a structured review that prioritizes deal-critical terms first (scope, pricing, liability, termination, IP, governing law, dispute forum). Within the first pass, we flag “must-fix” risks, “commercial levers,” and safe fallback positions—so your team can negotiate immediately. If time is tight, we can run a rapid review focused on the clauses that typically create downstream disputes.

What are the key legal risks to consider when acquiring a company in the UAE?

Common risk areas include corporate authority and approvals, shareholder arrangements, regulatory licensing alignment, employment liabilities, material contracts, IP ownership, and dispute exposure. We help you pressure-test these through targeted due diligence and then translate findings into protections in the transaction documents (conditions, warranties, indemnities, and closing mechanics).

How can you help us improve our corporate governance?

We help you set governance that matches your scale: clear decision rights, signing authorities, board/shareholder approvals, conflict management, and reporting. The goal is practical protection—reducing director exposure, avoiding internal bottlenecks, and creating an audit-ready structure that still lets teams move fast.
