Corporate governance
Businesses frequently require assistance with managing corporate activities. Our team supports through strong governance, compliance and risk regulation. We advise boards on strategic decisions and regulatory changes, as well as M&A, diversification and funding. Our corporate lawyers draft key policies and assist with crisis management, fraud prevention, cybersecurity and audits.
Our lawyers work with listed companies in the UK and across all jurisdictions to ensure that appropriate structures are in place. We can sit as part of your team advising board members and senior executives on strategic decision-making, resolve issues and help you understand changing regulatory and legal requirements. We advise board members to understand obligations, chairman's responsibility leading the board and non-executive director duties and general codes of conduct.
Our team are experienced in drafting policies and procedures, shareholder agreements and communications, conducting due diligence (if you are looking to diversify) and support all corporate activity such as diversification, mergers & acquisitions, investment and funding.
We can help devise your crisis management plans, and our wider team provide advice and support on fraud prevention, whistleblowing and cybersecurity. We also regularly conduct general audits to ensure your business runs with integrity and transparency.

While the Decision does not introduce any new tax liabilities, it provides important practical guidance on who must file the Pillar Two Information Return (PTIR) under the UAE's Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) regime and when UAE entities may rely on filings made elsewhere within their company group. For multinational enterprise (MNE) groups operating in the UAE, this represents an important development in the evolving Pillar Two compliance landscape.
