Why corporate services and Al Tamimi & Company?

We have seen companies being fined for a failure to fulfill important duties such as document submission deadlines and shareholder meeting obligations, which negatively impacts their business and their reputation. Al Tamimi’s broad coverage of the Middle East makes us well-placed to advise clients on properly administering their corporate records to ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements. Our Corporate Services team work hand-in-hand with Al Tamimi’s practice area and sector specialists to ensure a full service offering for each and every client.

For example, Al Tamimi is very well acquainted with DIFC offerings including its legal framework. We have extensive experience in structuring and establishing companies in the DIFC to enable businesses to achieve their strategic goals.

Al Tamimi also provides comprehensive legal advisory services under the DIFC and DFSA regimes, both contentious (DIFC Courts, DIFC-LCIA Arbitral Tribunal) and non-contentious, focused on corporate governance and commercial matters, for example NASDAQ Dubai listing, M&A and/or corporate finance transactions advice and assistance.
