What corporate and commercial legal services does LYLAW offer?
LYLAW provides corporate advisory, governance support, and commercial contract drafting and review for businesses operating in the UAE. We also handle corporate restructuring, dispute resolution (including mediation, arbitration, and litigation), employment law advisory, IP agreements, banking compliance, and UAE tax advisory.
Why does a business need a commercial lawyer in the UAE?
UAE commercial regulations differ between mainland, free zone, and offshore jurisdictions, and non-compliance can result in fines, licence issues, or contract disputes. A commercial lawyer structures your business correctly, drafts contracts that protect your interests, and resolves disputes before they escalate.
How can LYLAW assist with corporate restructuring?
LYLAW advises on corporate restructuring and reorganisation, including mergers and acquisitions, business restructuring, and changes to ownership and strategy. When a business is closing operations, our corporate lawyers also manage the liquidation and winding-down process.
What types of commercial contracts does LYLAW draft and review?
We draft and review shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, investment agreements, employment contracts, HR handbooks, IP protocols, and inter-company arrangements. Each contract is structured around the business's specific risk profile and commercial objectives.
Can LYLAW represent my business in a commercial dispute?
Yes, across all three routes UAE businesses use: mediation (negotiated settlement), arbitration (binding, through centres such as DIAC), and litigation before UAE courts. The firm works to resolve disputes while protecting your commercial and reputational position, often aiming to settle before formal proceedings.
Does LYLAW advise on UAE tax and regulatory compliance?
LYLAW advises on UAE tax obligations, including VAT and corporate tax, as well as broader regulatory compliance. We also cover banking requirements, governance frameworks, and internal policies to keep your business in line with current regulations.
