Legal support for the creation of holding structures, international groups of companies, family offices and corporate restructuring in the United Arab Emirates
— About practice
Most international companies create a corporate structure once, and the consequences of this decision affect the development of the business for decades.
A holding company is not just a legal entity. It determines the corporate governance system, asset ownership, intellectual property protection, attraction of investments, distribution of dividends, project financing and further development of the international group.
A properly constructed structure should be understandable to investors, banks, auditors and government agencies. It should support the business strategy, not complicate it.
Erich Rath assists international companies, investment funds, family offices and private investors in establishing holding structures in the UAE, helping to build corporate models for managing international assets, investments and operations.
— When practice is needed
— Expertise
The holding company must ensure effective management of assets, investments and subsidiaries in various countries.
The corporate structure must take into account future business growth, investment plans, M&A transactions and possible changes in ownership.
For large private investors, a family office becomes a tool for managing capital, investments and family assets.
An effective ownership structure should ensure transparency of corporate control, investment protection and ease of management of an international group.
International companies often use separate structures to own real estate, intellectual property, industrial assets and investment projects.
An international group of companies requires a transparent management system and distribution of powers between owners, board of directors and executive management.
Modern international groups operate simultaneously in several jurisdictions.
As the business grows, the company structure must adapt to new investments, acquisitions, and changes in corporate strategy.
