How we can help
Strengthening governance and board effectiveness
We help Boards enhance oversight, accountability and performance through robust governance frameworks and independent evaluations. From director inductions and governance charters to tailored Board and Committee assessments, we support leadership teams in clarifying roles and strengthening decision-making — aligning governance practices with regional regulatory requirements and international best practice.
Establishing compliant entities from day one
We support you through every stage of entity formation across the Middle East. From incorporation and registration to share capital structuring and management appointments, we help ensure your business is compliant from the outset. Our regional expertise and strong regulator relationships support efficient establishment and expansion aligned to your strategic objectives.
Visibility and control across entity portfolios
Our technology-enabled Legal Entity Management (LEM) and company secretarial services help you maintain accurate records, manage statutory filings and stay compliant across multiple jurisdictions. We provide end-to-end governance and secretarial support, giving you clear visibility, consistency and control across your entire legal entity portfolio.
Managing change across the entity lifecycle
We deliver practical legal and administrative support across the full corporate lifecycle. From director and shareholding changes to restructurings, mergers, de-registrations and liquidations, we help you manage transitions efficiently and transparently maintaining regulatory compliance, stakeholder confidence and operational continuity.
Modernising governance through technology
We help you transform governance and compliance functions through process redesign and technology. Working with PwC’s NewLaw and digital specialists, we design and implement solutions that streamline workflows, enhance reporting and provide real-time visibility supporting data-driven decision-making in an evolving regulatory environment.
