What Sets Us Apart

USD 50bn+ of Cross-Border Deal Execution

We've closed major transactions across London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai—working with banks, funds, family offices, billionaires, tech founders, and traditional businesses at every level of the ecosystem. With 20+ years of “what can go wrong” experience across four global hubs, we understand how deals flow across time zones, cultures, and regulatory philosophies. That experience means you get advice shaped by reality, not theory.

Business-First, Not Memo-First

Our advice accounts for how deals work in the Middle East and Far East—not just what’s written in the law, but the cultural expectations and unwritten processes that determine success.

We stay close to regulatory shifts and industry signals so you're never blindsided by predictable headwinds.

Documents Built for Business Speed Powered by Tools, Guided by Judgment

Fast-moving founders don’t need a 100-page agreement when a 2-page termsheet is all that’s required. We use smart tech—including AI—to accelerate the heavy lifting. But every sentence is owned by a human with dealmaking experience. Clear language. Context-driven drafting. No legalese or one-size-fits-all templates. Only the intelligible is implementable—and that’s our standard.

Two Roles, One Firm

Most founders need two kinds of legal support—strategic deal counsel and day-to-day legal coverage embedded in their operations.

We are one of the few UAE boutiques that can deliver both in one firm. This dual capability enables seamless shifts between hands-on execution and strategic judgment exactly when needed.

TradFi + Web3 Fluency

We're one of the few boutiques in the UAE with equal depth in both traditional finance and digital assets.

From private credit to tokenized ecosystems, we understand the regulatory fault lines and deliver structures that work today—and adapt tomorrow.

CROSS-BORDER REALITY CHECK

The Middle East ≠ The Far East

One of the biggest surprises for founders expanding into new markets? Realizing just how different "non-Western" economies actually are.

On paper, the rules may look familiar. In practice, they move in completely different ways: culturally, commercially, and regulation-wise.

Deals aren't only shaped by legislation. They're shaped by unwritten norms, stakeholder expectations, and market dynamics that aren't obvious until you're inside the ecosystem. That's where clarity matters most.
