Instead, we take the time to get to know your business, providing tailored corporate legal services that help you navigate the complexities of today’s fast-moving business world.

Company Formation and Structuring
Turning your idea into a thriving business is an exhilarating journey — full of potential, ambition, and excitement. But just as crucial as securing funding to fuel your business, ensuring you have the right legal guidance at every stage is equally important. From laying the very first brick of company formation to navigating the complexities of scaling, proper legal advice is the cornerstone of long-term success.
Take one of our recent clients, for instance. They initially planned to set up their business on the UAE mainland to gain immediate access to the local market. However, after closely reviewing their product, vision, and global expansion goals, Juris Maestro advised them to opt for a free zone setup instead. Though a mainland structure appeared easier at first, the free zone provided them with 100% foreign ownership, significant tax advantages, and seamless access to international markets. This decision allowed them to grow faster and more strategically, setting them on a course for scalable success.​
The UAE offers unparalleled flexibility for entrepreneurs, with over 40 free zones, each catering to different industries and needs. While the cheapest free zone option might seem tempting, selecting the right jurisdiction goes beyond cost. It requires careful consideration of the product, global business presence, business size, and investor vision. By spending extra time selecting the appropriate jurisdiction, businesses avoid the hassle of costly restructurings, wasted time, and potential penalties down the road.
Some free zones may have higher incorporation costs or stricter regulations, but these might be necessary to ensure your business aligns with industry standards and avoids future compliance issues. Opting for the easiest mainland structure may seem convenient, but it could expose your business to risks and missed opportunities for growth.
Just as funding is essential to fuel a business, having a solid legal foundation is vital to sustain it. From helping you select the right jurisdiction to securing tax benefits in the UAE and globally, Juris Maestro ensures your business is legally sound from the very beginning. We simplify the entire company formation process — whether you're setting up in the UAE, UK, or elsewhere — so you can focus on what matters most: growing your business and realizing your vision. Let us be your strategic partner at every stage of your business journey.
Shareholders' Agreements
A thoughtfully crafted shareholders’ agreement (SHA) can be the game-changer that keeps your business running smoothly and prevents future disputes. Imagine this: one family-run business we worked with faced a significant challenge when a shareholder became unreachable for three long years. The only recourse left was to liquidate the company—a drastic decision that no one wanted to confront.
This real-world scenario highlights the critical importance of having the right documentation in place. Since decision-making is a daily necessity in business, agreeing on shareholders' rights and powers from day one helps ensure smooth operations. It’s not just about defining roles; including well-drafted exit provisions is essential to protect all parties involved. After we revised their SHA, we helped the company establish clear expectations and robust exit strategies, which significantly eased tensions and improved decision-making processes.
​
If you want to avoid such challenging situations in your business, tailored agreements are key. Whether you’re launching a startup or managing a multinational corporation, our practical experience ensures that you’re covered.
