Dubai

With an office in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Arendt & Medernach is the only independent Luxembourg law firm to have an office focusing on the MENA region.

Establishing an office in the Middle East in 2008 was part of the continued international expansion of Arendt & Medernach. It has enhanced our offering to regional and international clients, allowing us to offer face-to-face advice, during local business hours on the aspects of Luxembourg law that impact our clients’ businesses, whether inbound or outbound driven.

Our strategic presence in Dubai enables us to cover all key jurisdictions and markets in the Middle East, North Africa and India. Specialist practice areas allow us to offer our clients a complete range of Luxembourg legal services tailored to their individual needs across all areas of business law.

In particular, Arendt & Medernach advises wealthy families and entrepreneurs on the legal structuring of their wealth and investments, such as the acquisition or disposal of a company, the acquisition and holding of an interest in a company, the acquisition and holding of real estate or simply the acquisition and holding of financial assets. We also advise local asset managers and sovereign funds on the development of their European activities through the creation of Luxembourg regulated and non regulated vehicles.

Over the years, our firm has developed efficient solutions to serve our clients’ needs with respect to Islamic finance. Our firm represents Islamic and non-Islamic banks as well as financial institutions throughout the entire value chain of commercial Islamic finance products.

Luxembourg is a prime location for the setting-up of Shari’ah-compliant investment structures. The Luxembourg authorities’ support, a reliable and legal investment environment and a tax-efficient system encourage Islamic companies and financial institutions to perform Shari’ah-compliant investments through Luxembourg vehicles.
