Gulf Residency & Structuring Desk

A sovereign-aligned residency and private client platform, built for the UAE

Discreet | Modular | Referral-Only |

This desk serves a select group of clients — founders, investors, and family offices — seeking long-term Gulf presence, UAE residency, and multi-jurisdictional asset protection.

We blend the fiduciary intelligence of private client firms with regional alignment and execution capabilities tailored to the modern UAE.

How We Work

Personally overseen. No intermediaries. No off-the-shelf models.

Every engagement is bespoke and handled discreetly. We operate on a fixed-fee basis, with pricing determined by scope, complexity, and client profile.

Full-suite mandates — spanning residency, structuring, banking, and strategic advisory — typically fall within the mid–five to low–six figure range.

We accept trusted referrals only, and quotes are issued only after a private strategy call.
