Middle East · DIFC, Dubai
Hart David Carson LLP in Dubai.
Our presence in the Gulf, held through a partner firm in the DIFC. From Dubai we advise founders, funds, and families on US-law and cross-border matters in corporate transactions, private capital, and private wealth, to the same standard as Chicago.
Dubai is where Hart David Carson LLP meets the Gulf's capital. It is the desk from which our US-law and cross-border corporate, private-capital, and private-wealth work serves the region.
The clients we serve from Dubai are companies and the people who own them. We act for founders and management teams expanding between the Gulf and the United States, for sovereign-adjacent investors, private-equity sponsors, venture funds, and family offices deploying capital across borders, and for principals who need their cross-border holdings structured with the same care as their operating businesses. The work runs from mergers, acquisitions, and inbound and outbound investment through fund formation, securities and governance, US tax structuring, and the estate and asset-protection planning that sits underneath internationally mobile wealth.
We arrive early, while capital is still forming and the rules are still unwritten, and we stay through the moments that decide a company's path. Where a matter touches a regulator, we have represented clients in matters before the SEC, the CFTC, and the IRS, acting for the companies and families in front of those agencies rather than for the agencies. Dubai anchors a practice built across borders, with one standard in Chicago, London, and Dubai and a partner network of independent firms beyond.
