Navigating Regulatory Compliance in the UAE
The UAE is increasingly recognized as a leading global financial centre and a super-jurisdiction drawing investors from across the world. Accordingly, its regulatory framework is constantly evolving in sophistication and those seeking to thrive in the UAE need to successfully navigate the complex compliance and regulatory requirements to remain competitive and secure.
We make sure you fully understand your options and all compliance and the regulatory requirements, particularly in the UAE’s financial free zones – the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). We give practical, tailored end-to-end solutions so that you can set up efficiently, meet regulatory and compliance standards, and focus on growing your business from day one.
Our expertise ranges from set-up and authorization of regulated entities in both the ADGM and DIFC to providing outsourced compliance and regulatory support services for both regulated and unregulated entities across the UAE – and everything in between. This includes strategic advice, liaising with regulatory authorities on your behalf, internal and AML audits, remediation, post-licensing operational support and training to ensure your regulatory compliance infrastructure is set up for long-term success.
Let us help you reduce risk and stress, save time, and achieve your strategic goals with reliable compliance and regulatory expertise.

Regulatory and Compliance FAQs
What is regulatory compliance in the UAE?
Regulatory compliance in the UAE involves meeting requirements set by authorities like ADGM and DIFC. Our compliance & regulatory services help you establish governance frameworks, manage risk, and avoid enforcement action.
What’s the difference between regulatory compliance and outsourced compliance?
