Why Legal Due Diligence is Vital for UAE Transactions

Before entering into any major transaction in the UAE—such as an acquisition, joint venture, large investment, or significant contract—a robust legal due diligence process is essential. A properly executed legal due diligence report uncovers hidden liabilities, reviews contracts and regulatory compliance, and ensures that your decision is based on full information.

In the UAE’s complex legal landscape, where regulatory regimes differ between mainland, free-zones and offshore jurisdictions, clients often face exposure to unseen risks.

Our service provides you with a tailored legal due diligence checklist of the most relevant issues for your transaction, ensuring you move ahead with confidence.

What a Legal Due Diligence Checklist Typically Covers

When we prepare your report, our legal due diligence checklist includes:

Review of corporate documents: articles of association, shareholder registers, ownership structure, beneficial ownership.
Contractual portfolio review: key agreements, leases, supply contracts, employment contracts, service agreements.
Regulatory and compliance status: licensing, permits, regulatory filings, ongoing breaches, AML/CFT exposure.
Litigation and claims assessment: current disputes, potential claims, contingencies, bankruptcy or insolvency exposure.
Intellectual property and asset ownership: IP rights, trademark and patent registrations, title to assets.
Risk reporting: summary of findings, red flag issues, mitigation strategies and recommended next steps in the report.

How Our Legal Due Diligence Services Work

Seamless Integration with UAE Legal Environment: our team knows UAE law and regulatory frameworks across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and other emirates. We translate complex findings into clear practical advice: what you must raise in negotiations, what you must obtain as warranties or indemnities, where you can walk away.
