Legal consultancy in the UAE

No. TANMIYA is a consultancy that provides legal advice to businesses and coordinates the work with specialist law firms when the matter requires a professional licence, a specific jurisdiction or court proceedings. We have partner firms in the UAE, Spain and Latin America, and the client keeps a single point of contact.

Yes, on the same basis: what is within our reach we coordinate directly, and the rest is handled with local specialists. Each Gulf country has its own regulations and procedures, so the scope is defined case by case before we start.

Yes, and it is best done before entering the market, not after. Registering the trade mark in the UAE and the rest of the Gulf is one of the few things people almost never regret having done in good time.

Yes, although there is less room for manoeuvre. We review which obligations have been taken on, which risks remain open and whether there is still any route to renegotiation or exit.

Yes. It is one of the few things people almost never regret having done early. Entering with an unregistered trade mark leaves the door open for someone else to register it first.

We look at what the articles of association and the signed agreements say, which is usually where the answer lies. When they say nothing, the room for manoeuvre depends on the jurisdiction. It is exactly the scenario that a sound incorporation avoids.

Yes, we can support the preparation and review of contracts within our scope. When the document requires action reserved for a lawyer, or specific expertise, we coordinate with our legal partners in the UAE, Spain, Latin America or other jurisdictions.

Yes. We can help structure the commercial points and coordinate the legal drafting/review of the shareholders' agreement or other documents.

Yes, in coordination with specialists when the matter requires specific legal advice. We can provide support with contracts, business processes and coordination with the authorities.

Yes. We can support the initial phase, negotiation and coordination with lawyers or dispute resolution specialists.

We can coordinate and submit certain administrative procedures within our scope. When representation requires a licence to practise law, a specific power of attorney or an appearance in a professional capacity, the licensed specialist steps in.

Yes. It is especially important to review exclusivity, territory, targets, termination, governing law and possible regulatory implications.

Yes. We recommend doing so before signing, and coordinating a specialised legal review when the contract requires it.
