At Paoletti Law Group, we understand that businesses require innovative solutions to thrive in today's interconnected world. The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), now the largest financial free zone in the world, has emerged as a game-changer for companies looking to establish a robust presence in the Middle East while staying connected to global markets. With its English common law framework and strategic location, ADGM offers unmatched opportunities for growth and innovation.

What Sets ADGM Apart?

ADGM's legal framework, modelled on English common law, provides businesses with the clarity and predictability they need to operate confidently. Unlike other financial zones, ADGM allows international lawyers to represent clients directly in its courts, bridging the gap between global and local legal practices. Additionally, ADGM's focus on financial services, fintech, and international arbitration ensures that businesses can thrive in a highly specialised and supportive environment.

Key Benefits of ADGM

Strategic Location: From Abu Dhabi, businesses can easily access markets across Europe, Asia, and Africa, representing billions of potential customers.

Flexible Structuring Options: Whether it's creating an SPV, establishing a foundation for succession planning, or consolidating assets under a single umbrella, ADGM offers tailored solutions.

Tax Efficiency and Full Ownership: Businesses benefit from tax advantages typical of free zones and the ability to maintain 100% foreign ownership without the need for local partners.

Our Partnership with Mirkwood Evans Vincent

Collaboration is at the heart of successful legal solutions. Our partnership with Katherine Evans at UK law firm Mirkwood Evans Vincent combines our deep knowledge of the UAE market with their expertise in English law and international arbitration. This synergy ensures that clients receive comprehensive support, from setting up operations in ADGM to resolving disputes effectively.

One recent example is a client with operations across multiple GCC countries. We worked closely with Mirkwood Evans Vincent to restructure their business under an ADGM-based entity, ensuring compliance, succession planning, and tax efficiency. This collaborative approach highlights the benefits of leveraging ADGM's legal framework to meet complex business needs.

The Future is in ADGM

ADGM is more than a financial zone; it's a gateway to global success. At Paoletti Law Group, we're proud to help businesses harness the full potential of ADGM. Whether you're an established multinational or a growing enterprise, our team is here to guide you through every opportunity ADGM has to offer.
