- International Clients
Who We Help
We work with clients whose business, investments or family no longer sit in one country. Some are companies opening a UAE base. Others are entrepreneurs forming a UAE company, or families organizing wealth, succession and governance across several jurisdictions. Many reach us through the banks, trustees, lawyers and accountants who already advise them.
Each market below has its own section, written for the questions clients from that country tend to bring, and for the advisers they work with there.

Our Role for International Clients
WTA is a Dubai-based advisory firm providing UAE and international wealth, corporate and family office services. WTA is part of a wider international group that includes regulated professional services firms, providing access to significant capabilities across the UK and European markets. Where jurisdiction-specific legal, tax or regulated advice is required outside the UAE, WTA works with the client’s existing advisers or other appropriately qualified and licensed advisers in the relevant jurisdiction.
We start with what the client is trying to achieve, then look at whether the UAE has a part to play. Where it does, our work can cover:
Wealth and corporate structuring
Organizing family and business wealth so it is clear and workable across countries.
Family office, succession and governance
How a family holds, manages and passes on its wealth, and how it makes decisions together.
Fiduciary and trust coordination
Working with existing trustees and fiduciaries, and coordinating new arrangements where appropriate.
UAE companies and regional bases
Company formation, licensing and market entry for businesses with a genuine UAE need.
UAE residence
Residence options for individuals and families who intend to spend time in the UAE.
Implementation and administration
Putting agreed plans in place and keeping them running.
Not every client needs a UAE presence, and we say so when that is the case.
Working With Your Advisers
We support properly structured, transparent and compliant arrangements, working alongside the client’s existing professional advisers where appropriate. We advise on UAE matters and help coordinate the wider plan, while legal, tax and regulatory advice for each country remains with appropriately qualified advisers there. Clients keep their existing advisers at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to live in the UAE to work with WTA?
No. Many plans involve a UAE company, structure or investment without anyone moving. A UAE presence is one possible part of a plan, not a requirement.
Do you advise on the law or tax of my home country?
No. We advise on UAE matters and coordinate the wider plan. Advice on your home country’s law, tax and regulation stays with qualified advisers there, and we work alongside them.
My country does not have its own section. Can you still help?
Yes. The sections above cover markets where we have published dedicated guidance. We also advise clients from other countries, so tell us where you are based and what you are planning.
