Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
We want Shariah-compliant financing for a UAE project. Where do we start?
Start with the purpose of the financing, the assets involved and the structure your financiers propose. We can then review the documents and how obligations and risks are allocated between the parties.
We export halal products from Malaysia to the UAE. Which agreements matter most?
Distribution or agency terms, supply and quality responsibilities, certification and labelling obligations, payment terms and brand use are common starting points.
Can I start the conversation from Malaysia?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Malaysia 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 Malaysia?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Malaysia, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
