Indeed, our lawyers pioneered western style IPOs in the UAE and have advised on more IPOs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai than any other law firm. On many occasions, we assisted in the creation of procedures and standards used by governmental authorities. recent work highlights include:
Alpha Dhabi Holding, Abu Dhabi Ports PJSC and Bayanat AI PLC on its listing on the ADX Primary market
