Kings Maxim is a boutique full-service law firm. We advise family offices, select sovereign funds and private clients on wealth and estate planning, and on establishing substantial businesses in the Emirates.
Speak with usWe are a boutique full-service practice, and we work at a high level of confidentiality. Our clients are family offices, select sovereign funds, and high net worth individuals planning the holding and transfer of wealth and estates. We also establish large capital businesses in the UAE, for founders and investors arriving from the United Kingdom, India, the United States and Singapore, and for those already resident in the Emirates.
Having chosen a client, we stay with them to the end of the journey. In many engagements that means remaining as in-house counsel in all but name, advising on legal, structuring, regulatory and compliance matters as the business grows around us.
Confidentiality is paramount for many of the people we act for, in an age of steadily increasing transparency. We have spent years observing where that line falls, and have built an ecosystem that bridges confidentiality and compliance rather than trading one against the other.
Discretion is not the opposite of compliance. Holding both at once is the work.
Most matters reach us as a single question: how to move a family, a business or a balance sheet into the United Arab Emirates. The answer is a structure. Everything that follows flows down from it, often for years. The contracts we draft at the outset are the ones we maintain and update as circumstances change, and the disputes we run are usually about agreements we already know intimately.
Where it starts
Private client
Year on year
When it is contested
Our clients sit across most of the sectors that carry weight in the Emirates. Where it serves them, and only when they ask, we open that network to one another.
Our team brings together lawyers and corporate services professionals qualified to practise and advise on the laws of the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, India and Singapore. That spread is deliberate. It lets a single matter run end to end within one firm, whatever the client's home jurisdiction, and it keeps the people who built a structure close to it when questions arise years later.
