Compliance and Data Privacy
We advise boards, family offices, and management teams on the governance and compliance obligations that keep a company defensible: anti-money laundering frameworks, data protection compliance, corporate secretarial administration, and boardroom conflicts of interest.

Three data protection regimes may apply at once. Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 governs personal data onshore. The ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021 and the DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 apply within their respective jurisdictions and carry their own notification thresholds and timeframes. A group with entities in more than one of them will have parallel obligations running on different clocks.
Our work spans regulatory compliance audits, AML and CTF policy design, KYC and UBO due diligence, data privacy compliance projects, and the corporate secretarial functions that keep governance defensible under scrutiny: board and shareholder meeting administration, share issuances, and statutory record maintenance.
We design and deliver in-house training on anti-corruption and bribery laws, sanctions exposure relevant to a client's specific sector, and anti-money-laundering compliance, so obligations are understood before a regulator or breach forces the issue.
