Guidance You Deserve
"Strong commercial law is not about paperwork. It is about protecting vision, securing growth, and sustaining long-term business success."
Corporate and commercial contracts are the backbone of every successful business. As a trusted commercial law firm in the UAE, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP provides expert legal support in drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and enforcing business contracts across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
Our commercial lawyers ensure that contracts are not only legally compliant but also commercially sound. Poorly drafted agreements expose businesses to unnecessary risk, disputes, and financial loss. Our lawyers eliminate ambiguity, protect your rights, and align contractual obligations with your commercial objectives.
We assist clients with a wide range of commercial agreements, including distribution agreements, shareholder agreements, joint venture contracts, service agreements, licensing arrangements, and supplier contracts. Our UAE commercial lawyers understand local laws, free zone regulations, and international contract standards, allowing us to structure agreements that stand up under scrutiny.
When disputes arise, our commercial litigation lawyers act decisively to enforce contractual rights or defend against claims. We aim to resolve matters efficiently through negotiation or arbitration, but we are fully prepared to litigate when required.
By working with Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, businesses gain access to a commercial law firm that treats contracts as strategic tools, not administrative formalities.
Choosing the right legal structure is critical for business success in the UAE. Our commercial law firm in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah advises local and international clients on company formation, corporate structuring, and regulatory compliance.
Our commercial lawyers guide clients through mainland, free zone, and offshore company formation, ensuring compliance with UAE commercial laws and foreign ownership regulations. We help businesses select structures that optimize tax efficiency, operational flexibility, and long-term scalability.
Corporate structuring goes beyond incorporation. Our law firm assists with shareholder arrangements, governance frameworks, restructuring, mergers, and internal reorganizations. We ensure that corporate documents clearly define rights, responsibilities, and exit mechanisms to prevent future disputes.
For international businesses entering the UAE market, our commercial lawyers provide end-to-end legal support, from licensing and regulatory approvals to operational setup. We remove complexity so clients can focus on growth.
As a full-service commercial law firm in the UAE, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP ensures your business foundation is legally sound, commercially efficient, and built for sustainable success.
Disputes are an unfortunate reality of business. When they occur, swift and strategic legal action is essential. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is a respected commercial litigation law firm in the UAE, representing clients in high-stakes disputes across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
Our commercial dispute lawyers handle shareholder disputes, breach of contract claims, partnership conflicts, and complex business litigation. We approach every dispute with a clear objective: protect your commercial position while minimizing disruption to operations.
We prioritize negotiation and alternative dispute resolution where possible, including mediation and arbitration. However, when litigation is unavoidable, our lawyers bring strong advocacy, meticulous preparation, and courtroom experience.
Our law firm regularly represents clients before UAE courts and arbitral institutions. With international dispute resolution capabilities, we also manage cross-border commercial disputes involving multiple jurisdictions.
Businesses trust Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP because we do not escalate disputes unnecessarily, but we do not hesitate to fight when your interests are at risk.
Regulatory non-compliance is one of the fastest ways to destroy a business in the UAE. Fines, license suspensions, reputational damage, and criminal exposure are real risks. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is a leading commercial law firm in the UAE advising businesses on regulatory compliance and corporate governance across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and beyond.
Our commercial lawyers help businesses understand and comply with UAE commercial laws, free zone regulations, licensing requirements, and sector-specific rules. We translate complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance so clients can operate confidently and legally.
Corporate governance is not optional. Poor governance leads to internal disputes, regulatory scrutiny, and investor mistrust. Our law firm designs governance frameworks that clearly define management authority, shareholder rights, reporting obligations, and decision-making processes.
We advise boards, directors, and senior management on fiduciary duties, risk management, compliance programs, and internal controls. Our commercial lawyers also assist with drafting corporate policies, codes of conduct, compliance manuals, and whistleblowing frameworks aligned with UAE legal standards.
For regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, real estate, and technology, our commercial law firm provides tailored compliance support. We assist with regulatory audits, investigations, and responses to government authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
When compliance issues arise, we act fast. Our lawyers conduct internal investigations, assess exposure, and implement corrective measures to protect the business and its leadership.
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is not just a compliance advisor. We are a strategic legal partner helping businesses operate ethically, transparently, and sustainably in the UAE’s evolving regulatory landscape.
Mergers and acquisitions are high-risk, high-reward transactions. If handled poorly, they destroy value. If handled correctly, they accelerate growth. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is a trusted commercial law firm in the UAE providing end-to-end legal support for mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic investments across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other UAE jurisdictions.
Our M&A lawyers advise buyers, sellers, investors, and corporate groups on domestic and cross-border transactions. We understand that M&A is not just a legal process. It is a business decision that demands speed, precision, and absolute clarity on risk.
Our commercial lawyers conduct thorough legal due diligence to identify liabilities, regulatory issues, contractual risks, and compliance gaps. We do not bury problems in footnotes. We surface them early so clients can negotiate from a position of strength. Whether acquiring a UAE-based company or merging with an international entity, our law firm ensures the transaction structure aligns with commercial objectives and regulatory requirements.
We draft and negotiate share purchase agreements, asset sale agreements, shareholders agreements, and joint venture documents with a focus on protecting value and minimizing post-transaction disputes. Our lawyers also advise on deal structuring, valuation mechanisms, earn-outs, warranties, indemnities, and exit strategies.
In the UAE, regulatory approvals, foreign ownership rules, and sector-specific restrictions can derail transactions if not handled properly. Our commercial law firm works closely with regulators and authorities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah to ensure smooth approvals and compliant execution.
From small strategic acquisitions to complex multi-jurisdictional mergers, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP delivers M&A legal services that are commercially aggressive, legally secure, and execution-focused.
