United Arab Emirates
For many years the UAE have been developing as a modern, innovative and financially stable jurisdiction in the Middle-East, and due to the attractiveness of the Dubai International Financial Centre’s (DIFC) financial free zone the interest from foreign investors and businesses does not decline. It is one of the reasons our team works in Dubai and has a first-rate experience here with compliance. We can perform a great range of tasks, from AML trainings for your personnel to annual AML reporting to DFSA. However, should you have compliance issues with which you need help in other parts of the UAE, we are ready to accept a challenge and look for the best solution to your problem. For additional details and more available services please refer to the section Services of this website.
