Start your life on Dubai

Company formation & Relocation

Would you like to relocate your residence and/or company headquarters to Dubai?​

For more than 15 years we have been helping entrepreneurs to set up companies and to move the center of their life abroad. 

The law firm DW&P – Dr. Werner & Partners has already successfully supported over 530 clients with their projects. DW&P is an international law firm. As such, we have a great responsibility towards our customers. For this reason, DW&P precedes the establishment of a company with a comprehensive consultation. 

Due to (tax) legal aspects or from the company structure, it may be that we advise you against emigration. Because Dubai doesn’t make sense for every entrepreneur and business.   Topics such as exit taxation, value creation, social security, substance, etc. also play a role.  Therefore, depending on the business model, it may not be advisable to choose Dubai as the company headquarters.
