Legal Advisor in Dubai
Practical legal support for Dubai businesses and investors
LEXPERT supports entrepreneurs, companies and investors with legal matters connected to Dubai, including company structuring, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Our advice brings the legal documents and the wider tax structure into the same discussion.
Company formation and shareholder arrangements
Before selecting a mainland or Free Zone structure, define the proposed business activity, where it will operate and how owners will make decisions. We advise on company formation, licences and regulatory approvals, corporate governance and shareholder agreements.
- Review ownership, management and decision-making arrangements.
- Draft or negotiate shareholder and commercial agreements.
- Assess legal issues arising from a change of ownership or restructuring.
Commercial contracts and acquisitions
A commercial agreement should reflect how the relationship works in practice. We review obligations, payment arrangements, termination, liability and dispute provisions in the context of the transaction. For an acquisition, our services include legal due diligence, structuring and the drafting and negotiation of transaction documents.
Real estate and private client matters
We help investors review property acquisitions, leases and sale arrangements, and consider ownership and succession planning alongside the wider international structure. Share the transaction stage and any signing deadline so we can identify the work that needs to happen first.
Bring the tax analysis into the transaction
Business formation, investment and relocation can raise corporate tax, VAT, residence and cross-border questions. Our tax lawyers in Dubai address those questions alongside legal structuring. For background on the advisory role, read our guide to legal advisors in Dubai.
Frequently asked questions
Can a legal advisor review a contract before I sign?
Yes. LEXPERT provides contract drafting, review and negotiation services. Send the draft, the purpose of the transaction, the parties involved and any deadline so that the scope of the review can be agreed.
Does a Dubai Free Zone company need different advice from a mainland company?
The relevant authority, activity and legal framework need to be identified before advising. DIFC publishes its own laws and regulations; other structures require their own assessment. A Free Zone label alone does not answer every legal or tax question.
Can legal and tax advice be coordinated for a Dubai investment?
Yes. LEXPERT combines corporate and transaction support with tax advisory. The work can consider the ownership structure, contracts and tax issues together, including connections with other jurisdictions.
