Middle East

We have partnered successfully with many wealthy individuals and families across the Middle East who have placed their trust in us to support and advise them on multiple matters ranging from establishing businesses in the UK, investing in real estate, planning immigration to the UK and helping them structure and finance their international private and business assets.

We offer a genuinely full service to Middle Eastern clients, with Arabic speakers across our core practice areas. Our team are not only highly dedicated and commercially astute but they are also attuned to cultural and religious sensitivities and the applicable domestic legal and tax framework within which our clients operate.
