Four disciplines, practised as one.

We work at the intersection of structuring, taxation, accounting and transactions. The services below are distinct in expertise, but rarely delivered in isolation — most engagements draw on two or three.
01 — Corporate

Company Incorporation & Structuring

The fastest way to incorporate is rarely the right one. We start with the operating model — where value is created, where people sit, which markets are served — and design the corporate structure around it. Only then do we file.

  • UAE mainland, free zone and offshore incorporations
  • Holding company design in Spain, Netherlands, Luxembourg and UAE
  • Shareholder agreements and governance frameworks
  • Economic substance assessment and planning
  • Tax residency certification (TRC)
  • Bank account opening support with tier-1 UAE institutions
  • Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) filings and ongoing compliance
  • Licence amendments, restructurings and liquidations
02 — Taxation

International Taxation

Cross-border tax is where most disputes, and most missed opportunities, live. We advise in writing, in plain language, and with the reasoning clients can share with auditors, lenders and counterparties.

  • Double tax treaty analysis and relief claims
  • Permanent establishment risk and mitigation
  • Transfer pricing policy design and documentation
  • Cross-border dividend, interest and royalty flows
  • Exit taxation and change of residency planning
  • UAE ↔ Spain and UAE ↔ EU corridor structuring
  • Pillar Two readiness for in-scope groups
  • Written tax opinions suitable for audit and diligence
03 — UAE Practice

UAE Corporate Tax & Accounting

Implementation of the UAE corporate tax regime has surfaced positions most advisors are still guessing at. We stay close to Federal Tax Authority guidance, ministerial decisions and public clarifications, and we translate them into concrete decisions for your business.

  • Corporate tax registration and first-year compliance
  • Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) assessments
  • Qualifying and excluded activity analysis
  • Annual return preparation and submission
  • VAT registration, filing and reconciliation
  • IFRS-aligned bookkeeping and management reporting
  • Audit support and liaison with external auditors
  • Transfer pricing disclosure forms and local file
04 — Transactions

M&A & Transaction Advisory

We act on mid-market transactions where a cross-border element — jurisdiction, tax structuring, post-closing integration — changes the economics of the deal. Engagements are selective, partner-led and kept small.

  • Buy-side and sell-side advisory
  • Financial and tax due diligence
  • Valuation support and negotiation analysis
  • Transaction tax structuring and step-up planning
  • SPA review and warranty & indemnity support
  • Management equity and rollover structuring
  • Post-closing integration and reporting alignment
  • Vendor due diligence and sale-readiness reviews
— How we work

Three phases, consistently.

I.

Conversation, then scope.

We speak first, quote second. A thirty-minute conversation usually tells both sides whether this is the right match — and often reframes the question being asked.

II.

Fixed-fee where we can, time-based where we must.

Most structuring, incorporation and annual compliance work is quoted on a fixed-fee basis. Complex transactions and opinions are time-based, with transparent caps and weekly reporting.

III.

Written deliverables, always.

Every engagement closes with a written deliverable — a structure memo, a tax opinion, an audited set of accounts, a closing binder. Something our clients can pick up in three years and still understand.
