At Consult Legal, our primary focus within the realm of Family Law is to protect the interests of our clients and their families, as well as to secure their future.

With recent changes to inheritance and wills regulations in the UAE, it is more important than ever to plan ahead and safeguard the succession and wealth of your family. Our team of highly experienced lawyers is here to support you and your loved ones with professionalism, dedication, and sensitivity.

​

We recognise that local laws in the UAE apply differently to Muslim and non-Muslim expats and across different jurisdictions. That's why it's essential to protect your assets through the DIFC or Dubai/Abu Dhabi courts and/or offshore structures.

​

Our team can assist you with a range of services, including:

 

• Structuring businesses and investments to reduce and manage legal risks and exposures

• Creating custom structures to insulate families against business disruption during times of transition

• Developing family agreements and trust deeds that allow for clear and structured transitions to future stewardship
