Corporate governance
In the aftermath of the global financial crisis our clients recognised the need to embrace corporate governance as an essential component in guiding management strategy and make it a key element of their daily business operations.
This is particularly true in the current UAE business environment where the government has taken steps to increase and improve the regulatory framework for corporate governance over recent years.
Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of international corporate governance protocol combined with the knowledge of the local aspects applicable to firms operating in the region. We maintain constant communication with regulators within the region, ensuring we remain on top of corporate governance requirements.
We advise banks, family businesses and public and private companies on their corporate governance practices. Providing more than just advice, our clients receive a tailored manual specific to their needs in light of new regulations and policies.
