Global presence · UAE
Business advisory in the UAE & Dubai, backed by a local office.
Confidential market-entry, structuring, regulatory and cross-border mandates across the United Arab Emirates — run from our Dubai office at Burjuman Business Tower, with senior accountability from the first conversation to a documented result.
The market
The UAE rewards execution, not just intent
The UAE is one of the most active hubs for cross-border business in the region — but the distance between a sound idea and an operating entity is where most market-entry plans stall.
Establishing and running a business in the UAE means navigating a layered landscape: the choice between free-zone and mainland structures, sector-specific licensing, regulatory approvals, and the coordination of advisors, authorities and counterparties across jurisdictions. Each decision has downstream consequences that are difficult to unwind once made.
Most advisory relationships in this market stop at the recommendation — a structure proposed, a licence pathway sketched, then handed off. The execution gap that follows is where momentum, cost and confidentiality are lost. Lakhera Global Services is engaged to close that gap: we take ownership of the mandate and carry it through.
Our presence in the UAE is anchored by our Dubai office at Burjuman Business Tower, working alongside our India offices in Mohali and Ahmedabad. That two-jurisdiction footprint is what lets us run UAE mandates — and the India–UAE corridor behind them — as one accountable engagement rather than a chain of disconnected hand-offs.

FAQ
UAE & Dubai advisory — common questions
We advise across the United Arab Emirates — Dubai and the wider Emirates — covering both free-zone and mainland routes depending on what the mandate requires. Our Dubai office at Burjuman Business Tower is the operating base, and the specific authorities and free zones engaged are scoped against each mandate rather than assumed up front.
There is no universally right answer; the choice depends on the activity, ownership, customer base and how the business needs to operate across the UAE and beyond. We work through the trade-offs — licensing scope, ownership rules, market access and cost — against the actual mandate, and we structure for the operating outcome rather than defaulting to whichever route is simplest to set up.
Yes. The India–UAE corridor is central to how we work. Because we have offices in both India and Dubai, we can carry the cross-border workstream — structuring, regulatory approvals, registrations and counterparty coordination — as one accountable mandate, rather than handing it between disconnected advisors in each country.
Confidentiality is the condition of the mandate, not an add-on. Engagements are governed by a signed NDA and senior discretion before any sensitive information moves; information flows on a need-to-know basis. We describe mandates by type and outcome only — never by client — and commercial terms remain confidential.
Every mandate is evaluated against our acceptance framework before we take it. If it is one we can own, we scope the work, define accountability and the path to a documented result, and run it end to end with senior people on the engagement. The first step is a confidential consultation; we decline mandates we cannot own.
