We act for banks, funds, fintechs, and financial intermediaries on the licensing, compliance, transactional, and dispute matters that regulators and counterparties hold them to in the DIFC, ADGM, and UAE mainland.
We act for financial institutions and fintech companies navigating the UAE's multi-layered regulatory environment: banks, investment funds, asset managers, payment providers, insurers, and virtual asset businesses.
Whether you are establishing operations, managing regulatory relationships, or facing enforcement action, we focus on protecting your licence and your business.

Facing CBUAE enforcement or compliance gaps? We help you respond to regulatory inquiries, manage examinations, and defend against enforcement action while protecting your licence.

Fund structuring questions or LP disputes? We advise on regulatory filings, manager obligations, and disputes over fees, redemptions, and fund governance.

Navigating CBUAE, DFSA, or VARA licensing? We handle applications, regulatory sandbox entry, and ongoing compliance for payment providers, e-wallets, and digital banks.



We help with day to day legal decisions, keep contracts and correspondence under control, and step in early so issues do not become disputes. When escalation is unavoidable, we handle negotiations, arbitration, or court proceedings with continuity.

Financial services matters move fast under regulatory scrutiny, where a small compliance gap can become a major exposure. Our team helps you make defensible decisions on transactions, governance, and investigations without slowing commercial momentum.
The work we step into is typically:
You tell us what you do and where the pressure points are. We review your key contracts, workflow, and recurring issues, then prioritise what to fix first.
We assign the matter to the right lawyer from our 25+ team, with senior oversight and, where appropriate, direct involvement from Pierre.
You receive redlines, revised clauses, resolutions, or a short risk note with recommended positions and next steps. Where a matter escalates, we also support you through formal dispute resolution.
We handle iterations and negotiation support until the document is signed, the issue is resolved, or the next step is executed.
Share the context and any deadlines. We will respond with a clear next step, whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific project.
