Our Regulatory Compliance service focuses on helping companies navigate the complex ESG regulatory landscapes in Europe, MENA, and GCC countries, with a particular emphasis on the UAE. We provide comprehensive support to ensure that businesses meet all relevant ESG-related regulations and standards.
Best Practices and MENA Regulations
We provide tailored advice to companies operating in the MENA region regarding ESG compliance with regional sustainability goals and regulatory requirements. We help businesses get ahead of developing regulations. To this end, we aid multi-national clients by putting ESG best practice into their operations. On this basis, our law firm ensures that clients meet the local and international ESG standards for business to enhance long-term sustainable growth and responsible corporate governance.
GCC Countries, Especially UAE
Compliance with ESG is soon going to be a reality within the GCC countries and more so in the UAE. We provide detailed advice on the satisfaction of UAE’s specific regulatory requirements, including those of the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) or other local authorities. This will involve advice in national initiatives for sustainability, compliance with reporting requirements, and the integration of ESG into business strategy.
Our legal and specialist advisors will empower companies to prepare and present full, precise, transparent, and accurate ESG reports. These services will assure conformance with regulatory requirements and industry standards, offering clarity to and accountability towards the stakeholders.

Our ESG Disclosures service helps companies enhance their transparency, build trust with stakeholders, and ensure compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.
We perform detailed gap analyses to find out areas where current practices are below the board, so far as regulatory requirements are concerned. Further, our risk assessment can help companies understand potential compliance risks and describe how to mitigate them in an effective way.
Policy Development and Implementation.
Our experts will help institutionalize the formulation of ESG policies and practice them within the ambit of regulatory requirements while being aligned with corporate goals. We will provide training and support to ensure these policies are effectively translated into action in day-to-day operations.
Trainings and Education
To be useful, policies must be supported with training and education for board workshops for boards, executives, and employees. These programs keep stakeholders at all levels updated with the latest developments in regulatory change management and leading practices for ESG compliance. Our Regulatory Compliance service is tailored to provide support on the regulatory landscapes in Europe, MENA, and the GCC, with a focus on the UAE.
