Legal Advisor in Abu Dhabi
Legal advice for Abu Dhabi investments and business structures
LEXPERT advises companies, entrepreneurs and private investors on legal matters connected to Abu Dhabi. Our services cover corporate structuring, investment due diligence, commercial agreements and real estate, with coordinated tax advice for domestic and international arrangements.
Define the entity and the applicable framework
An Abu Dhabi investment may involve a mainland entity, an ADGM arrangement or another Free Zone structure. The appropriate review starts with the actual entity, activity, assets and counterparties. ADGM has its own legal framework and public registers, which should be considered where relevant to the proposed structure.
Investment and transaction support
We help clients assess the legal structure of an investment before documents are signed. The work can include company formation, governance arrangements, legal due diligence and the drafting or negotiation of transaction documents.
- Review the proposed ownership and decision-making structure.
- Identify legal questions in an acquisition or investment.
- Draft and review shareholder and commercial agreements.
- Coordinate incorporation and regulatory approval requirements within the agreed scope.
Real estate and wealth planning
For property investments, we support due diligence, document review and negotiation, purchase and sale arrangements and ownership structuring. Private client matters can also require succession and cross-border planning. Tell us whether the asset will be held personally or through an entity and which other jurisdictions are involved.
Corporate tax and international coordination
The legal structure and the tax analysis should be considered together. Our Abu Dhabi tax lawyers advise on corporate tax, VAT, transfer pricing and international structuring. A proposed holding arrangement should be assessed against the client’s facts, commercial purpose and applicable requirements.

What information is useful for an initial consultation?
Provide a short description of the investment or business, the relevant entities and jurisdictions, the transaction stage and any deadline. The team can then identify the documents needed for a scoped review.
