Events

Event formats

• Seminars — 1.5–2 hours on a single topic, working through typical scenarios and taking questions. Held in Dubai or streamed online.
• Business breakfasts — small-group meetings (usually up to 15–20 people) for owners and finance directors: practical discussion, no slides and no sales pitch.
• Conference talks — presentations and panel discussions at business events on investing and operating in the UAE.
• Private sessions for companies — a meeting with a client's team (owners, accountants, in-house counsel) on an agreed agenda.

For ongoing learning, our webinars are more convenient — you can join from anywhere.

What we talk about

• Choosing a structure: free zone or mainland, the restrictions and tax consequences — see our article Free zone or mainland.
• Corporate Tax and VAT in the UAE: what a company must do, and when.
• Bank accounts and compliance: preparing for bank reviews.
• Recovering debts from UAE counterparties and enforcing Russian and CIS judgments.
• Buying property in Dubai and protecting off-plan buyers' rights.

The sessions are designed for business owners rather than lawyers: plain language, real-life examples, no jargon.

How to hear about upcoming events

We do not publish a calendar far in advance, as dates and venues depend on the topic and the number of participants. To receive an invitation, leave your email or phone number in the form on this page and tell us which topics interest you. Invitations go out 2–3 weeks before each event; attendance is usually free for clients and subscribers, and places are limited.
