ADGM and DIFC establishment, fund structuring and capital markets advisory for financial institutions, family offices and hedge funds.
Abu Dhabi and Dubai as global financial centres.
ADGM and DIFC have established themselves among the world's most respected international financial centres — with robust regulatory frameworks, common law jurisdictions and a growing ecosystem of institutional participants. For family offices, hedge funds and regulated financial institutions, the UAE offers a genuinely compelling base for regional and global operations.
Jurisdiction and structure.
PAAD advises financial services clients on establishment within ADGM and DIFC — jurisdiction selection, entity structuring, licensing pathways and the full corporate setup process. We are not a regulated financial services provider. Our expertise is in the advisory and structuring layer — the decisions that precede and underpin a successful establishment.
Ecosystem and relationships.
Beyond setup, PAAD brings an established network within both financial centres. We maintain relationships with family offices, hedge funds and institutional participants who are open to collaboration — and we actively facilitate introductions where there is a genuine strategic fit.
Capital markets and corporate finance.
Where a client has a capital requirement — fundraising for a project, an M&A mandate, or a corporate finance transaction — we draw on our network to identify appropriate counterparties within our ecosystem. We work across capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and structured transactions on a case-by-case basis.
