Corporate Services
Every corporate deal comes down in the end to a decision. It also comes down to whether the people taking it had the power to bind the company. Our corporate lawyers in Dubai act for shareholders, boards and investors. We cover mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, financing and refinancing deals, and legal and financial audits.
The work runs from due diligence (checking the business before you commit) and deal structure through talks and deal documents to closing. On the governance side it covers board duties, shareholder rights, decision-making, internal controls and compliance. The point is that the arrangements a business relies on are written down, enforceable and understood. That must be true before they are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do corporate lawyers do during a merger or acquisition?
They protect the buyer's or seller's position at every stage of the deal. That includes due diligence (checks on the target business), structuring the deal and negotiating terms. It also means drafting the deal documents and protecting shareholder interests through to closing. All of it serves one decision. The board or shareholders who approve the deal know exactly what they are buying, and on what terms.
- When should a company get corporate governance advice?
A company needs it the moment nobody can say for sure who decides what. That means which matters the board can settle, which need shareholder approval, and by what process. Governance advice covers board duties, shareholder rights, decision-making, governance policies, internal controls and compliance. Many governance disputes trace back to rules that were never written down or never followed.
- Can a lawyer review a loan or refinancing before we sign?
Yes, and the review is most useful before terms are fixed. We check the loan structure, repayment terms, security arrangements (assets pledged to the lender) and the contract duties that follow the money. We also compare refinancing options where existing debt no longer suits the business. The review also confirms who has the power to sign, because whoever signs commits the whole company.
- What does a legal and financial audit of a company cover?
It looks at the company's contracts, liabilities (what it owes), compliance position, financial records, risks, governance and business duties. Clients order one before buying or investing in a business. Owners also order one on their own companies to find problems while they are still small. The result is a clear picture of what the company really holds and owes.
