Al Tamimi &amp; Company is one of the very few law firms in the Middle East with a dedicated Corporate Structuring practice. Our practice prides itself on having the capability to provide a full-service solution to all clients across the region.

We have advised on a wide variety of corporate structuring and restructuring related projects and specialise in design and implementation of corporate structures. In particular, we design a structure for our client, however complex their goal may be – in a legally compliant manner with their commercial goal in mind, and we assist them with implementation however challenging that implementation may be.

The strength of our team comes not only from our in-depth knowledge of relevant laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we have a presence, but also from our awareness of the regional regulatory practices which we have developed by having very close working relationships with regulatory authorities and Ministries in the entire Middle East.

Given changes in the global financial landscape in recent years, our team of lawyers have worked extensively with clients in the area of cross border corporate restructuring and reorganisation.
