Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
We are a family-owned Austrian manufacturer entering the UAE. How should we start?
Decide whether you will sell through distributors, an agent or your own entity, and what level of control you need. That choice shapes the contracts, cost and risk.
Can you review a hotel management or operating agreement?
Yes. We can walk through fees, performance standards, approvals, staffing and termination provisions and how they fit your commercial goals.
Can I start the conversation from Austria?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Austria or the UAE. Keep it brief and avoid confidential documents until an engagement is agreed. An enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
Do you advise on the law of Austria?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Austria, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
