Case studies
We don't just advise. We execute.
Every mandate starts with a business goal and ends with something running: a licensed company, an open bank account, a team on the ground.

Selected mandates
Eight problems, solved in practice
-
Dual-hub entry without a banking dead end
European fintech · Series B · ~180 staff
- Challenge
- An earlier UAE licence used the wrong activity codes, so no Tier-1 bank would open an account.
- What we did
- Re-mapped the activities to the real business model and set up the UAE and Singapore entities in parallel, with a bank-ready file.
~8 weeks
to licensed, banked and compliant in two countries
-
Cross-border tax structure rebuilt
Anglo-Gulf industrial group · multi-entity
- Challenge
- A decade of ad-hoc structuring had drifted out of line with substance rules, with audit season approaching.
- What we did
- Mapped every entity, scored its tax exposure, wound down the redundant ones and documented transfer pricing.
⅓ retired
of group entities, with no material audit findings on structure
-
Contract estate brought under control
South Asian manufacturer with Gulf distribution
- Challenge
- Contracts were spread across drives, inboxes and three law firms. Nobody knew which were live or uncapped.
- What we did
- Indexed several hundred agreements, re-papered the high-risk clauses and put every renewal on a tracked calendar.
90 days
of renewal visibility ahead, with silent auto-renewals eliminated
-
Leadership relocated on deadline
Asia-Pacific logistics operator opening a Gulf hub
- Challenge
- Senior staff and their families had to be in place by a fixed launch date. Past moves failed because visas started too late.
- What we did
- Planned backwards from launch day and started visa work alongside licensing, so families moved together.
On time
leadership on the ground and working before the hub opened
-
Store leases turned into a managed portfolio
Retail group · multi-city leasehold estate
- Challenge
- Each store's lease sat with its own manager. Head office could not see commitments or exit rights before expanding.
- What we did
- Abstracted every lease, used break options before they expired and ran new sites through governed deal rooms.
100%
of critical lease dates owned and alerted
-
IT sourcing moved off relationship pricing
Multi-site enterprise services operator
- Challenge
- Identical hardware was bought at different prices across sites, with week-long email RFQs and no selection record.
- What we did
- Standardised specs, verified every vendor and ran reverse auctions judged on total cost, all on an audit record.
Days
per sourcing cycle instead of weeks, every award traceable
-
National programme given a delivery spine
Sovereign programme office · diversification mandate
- Challenge
- Strong sponsorship and approved capital, but no operating layer between policy and private-sector delivery.
- What we did
- Named an owner for every workstream, ran governed procurement and released capital only against verified milestones.
Live view
of progress for the sponsor, replacing manual reports
-
Security rebuilt to win enterprise deals
European B2B SaaS operator
- Challenge
- Deals kept stalling at security review, and every questionnaire was answered from scratch.
- What we did
- Fixed access control, data residency and logging, then built a standing evidence pack for buyers.
Weeks → days
to answer a buyer's security due diligence
Our method
Every mandate runs the same way
- 01
Start with the goal
We agree the business outcome first. Structures and filings follow from it.
- 02
Map the rules
Regulators, banks and risks are mapped before anything is submitted.
- 03
Execute in order
We work directly with authorities and counterparties, step by step.
- 04
Hand over a calendar
Renewals and filings are scheduled, so nothing lapses after delivery.
- 05
Keep the evidence
Every decision and approval is logged in a record you own.
Case studies are representative and anonymised to protect client confidentiality. Figures are indicative and rounded; results vary by jurisdiction, sector and file.
