Kaden Boriss Launches Business Advisory Arm to Power UAE’s Restructuring, M&A and Tax Transformation Boom

Leading UAE-based legal consultancy Kaden Boriss has announced the launch of Kaden Boriss Business Advisory, a dedicated financial advisory division aimed at supporting businesses across the UAE and international markets with structured finance, regulatory clarity and growth-driven strategies.

The expansion comes amid a decisive shift in the UAE’s business landscape, where companies are moving beyond market entry to consolidation, restructuring and global expansion. With the introduction of corporate tax, evolving compliance frameworks and increasing cross-border investments, demand for integrated advisory services spanning finance, tax and transactions has surged across sectors.

Positioned as a strategic finance partner, the new division offers end-to-end solutions across business structuring, taxation, transaction advisory, corporate finance and performance optimisation — bridging the gap between legal advisory and financial execution.

Dr Sunil Ambalavelil, Global Executive Chairman of Kaden Boriss, said the launch reflects both market demand and the firm’s long-term vision. “The UAE is no longer just a destination for business set-up — it is a hub for scale, consolidation and global integration. This shift demands advisory that combines legal precision with financial strategy, and that is exactly what Kaden Boriss Business Advisory delivers.”

Addressing UAE’s Expanding Business Ecosystem

The UAE continues to attract startups, multinational corporations and investors due to its strategic location, robust infrastructure and business-friendly regulatory environment. However, with multiple jurisdictions across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other emirates — including mainland, free zone and offshore structures — businesses increasingly require expert guidance to navigate regulatory frameworks and optimise their operating models.

Kaden Boriss Business Advisory provides end-to-end support across the business lifecycle — from company formation and jurisdiction selection to licensing, tax registrations and banking facilitation. Its services cover a wide range of structures, including LLCs, free zone entities, offshore companies, Special Purpose Vehicles in financial centres, and foundation and trust frameworks.

The division also supports corporate bank account setup, streamlining what is often a complex and documentation-intensive process through structured advisory and coordination with financial institutions.

Tax, Compliance and Regulatory Transformation

With the UAE’s evolving tax regime, including corporate tax, VAT and excise frameworks, businesses are under increasing pressure to ensure compliance while maintaining efficiency.

The new division offers comprehensive tax and regulatory advisory, covering corporate tax structuring, VAT compliance, transfer pricing, cross-border taxation and regulatory filings. It also supports businesses through audits, assessments and dispute resolution, while aligning tax strategies with commercial objectives.

“Regulatory transformation in the UAE is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, requiring businesses to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach. Our advisory services are designed to help organizations stay ahead of change, mitigate risks, and unlock operational efficiencies through strategic structuring and robust compliance frameworks,” said Joy Louise, Managing Partner of Kaden Boriss Business Advisory.

The firm also provides specialised support in international tax matters, including double taxation treaty analysis, transfer pricing documentation, economic substance regulations and global compliance coordination through its international network.

Future-Ready Digital and Financial Transformation

Recognising the UAE’s push towards digital compliance, Kaden Boriss Business Advisory is also supporting businesses in adapting to e-invoicing frameworks. The division offers end-to-end guidance — from readiness assessments and system gap analysis to ERP integration and post-implementation compliance.

In parallel, its accounting and fractional CFO services provide businesses with real-time financial visibility, strategic oversight and cost-efficient alternatives to in-house finance teams. Services include financial planning, budgeting, reporting, KPI tracking and investor coordination.

Driving M&A, Transactions and Capital Strategy

As M&A activity gains momentum in the UAE, driven by sectoral consolidation and investor confidence, the division offers full-spectrum transaction advisory services. These include financial due diligence, valuation, deal structuring, fundraising and post-transaction integration.

From assessing financial risks to structuring tax-efficient deals and securing capital, the firm supports businesses through every stage of the transaction lifecycle.

“An effective internal control framework is essential for operational integrity and strategic growth. Our advisory works with businesses to assess governance structures, evaluate control effectiveness, and identify opportunities to strengthen risk management and operational efficiency,” said, Dheeraj Toshniwal, Managing Partner of Kaden Boriss Business Advisory.

Structured Finance and Business Resilience

The division also focuses on corporate and structured finance solutions, including debt advisory, refinancing, trade finance and working capital optimisation. It supports businesses in securing funding, restructuring liabilities and improving financial stability through tailored strategies.

With services spanning debt structuring, credit facilitation, trade finance instruments and turnaround advisory, the firm aims to help organisations navigate financial pressures while unlocking growth opportunities.

A Strategic Step Forward

The launch of Kaden Boriss Business Advisory marks a significant step in the firm’s evolution into a fully integrated advisory platform. By combining legal expertise with financial and strategic advisory, the firm is positioning itself to meet the complex and evolving needs of businesses operating in the UAE and beyond.

As the UAE strengthens its position as a global business hub, the demand for sophisticated, multi-disciplinary advisory services is expected to grow — particularly in areas such as restructuring, tax optimisation and cross-border transactions.

With this expansion, Kaden Boriss reinforces its commitment to delivering holistic, future-ready solutions for businesses navigating one of the world’s most dynamic economic environments.
