Joint Ventures & Strategic Alliances.Structuring and execution of joint ventures and partnership arrangements.

Why this matters

UAE-onshore joint ventures and free-zone partnerships still account for a large share of how foreign capital enters the market. The 100% foreign-ownership reforms changed the calculus on which structure to use, but JVs remain the preferred route in regulated sectors and in family-office partnerships where the local sponsor brings non-financial value.
