Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
A UAE investor wants to partner with us on a project in Mali. Can you help?
We can advise on the UAE side of the relationship: the investment and joint venture documents, governance and dispute provisions. The law of Mali needs advisers qualified there, and we will coordinate where useful.
Do sanctions affect whether you can act for me?
They can. Before agreeing any engagement we carry out appropriate checks on the parties and the transaction, and some matters may fall outside what we can accept. Raise any concerns openly at the start.
Can I start the conversation from Mali?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Mali 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 Mali?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Mali, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
