Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
We’re a Spanish hospitality group appointed to manage a hotel in Dubai. What should we review?
Key areas include fees, performance tests, owner approvals, brand standards, staffing responsibilities and how the agreement can be ended. Getting these right shapes the whole relationship.
Can we sign a joint venture with a UAE partner for a construction project?
Joint ventures are common. Agree each party’s contribution, decision-making, liability, profit sharing and what happens if the project or partnership runs into difficulty.
Can I start the conversation from Spain?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Spain 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 Spain?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Spain, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
