Services / Family Office Setup

When This Matters

This matters before choosing DIFC or ADGM, hiring staff, appointing advisers, or centralising family wealth operations.

Before a major decision

The best time to review the structure is before relocation, incorporation, transfer, acquisition, or implementation.

When facts cross borders

Advice is needed where family, assets, companies, trustees, or income sources span more than one jurisdiction.

When compliance is unclear

Clients need clarity where UAE tax, free zone, substance, or reporting requirements may apply.

When the structure has aged

Existing arrangements may need to be refreshed as family, business, tax, or regulatory circumstances change.
