How we serve the UAE

Remote delivery, clear process

We do not have a physical office in the UAE. All work is delivered remotely through video calls, email and a secure client portal. This keeps the process efficient while giving UAE clients direct access to Indian corporate advisory expertise.

Track A

Agreement drafting

We draft UAE-facing commercial agreements from your brief — shareholders' agreements, JV documents, NDAs, service contracts, licensing and more — adapted to the parties' positions.

  • Indian-law or common-law oriented drafting
  • Cross-border Indian-UAE structuring considered
  • 3 rounds of amendments included

Track B

Agreement vetting

Clause-by-clause review of a draft you have received. We flag risk, explain implications and suggest changes before you sign.

  • Plain-language risk note
  • Tracked redlines
  • Escalation on material exposure

Track C

Review & risk analysis

Structured assessment of counterparty paper against your commercial position, with negotiation points and a counter-draft where useful.

  • Position-by-position comparison
  • Negotiation notes
  • Residual exposure summary

Add-on

Clause-level review

When you only need clarity on a single provision — liability, indemnity, termination, IP, exclusivity, governing law — we explain it and suggest wording.

  • Meaning and practical operation

Jurisdiction

Indian advisory, UAE commercial focus

Agreementa is a service of Meenakshi Associates Corporate Advisory LLP, based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Our drafting and review is conducted from an Indian corporate and common-law perspective, with attention to the commercial arrangements UAE businesses typically enter into.

We are not a UAE-licensed law firm and do not practise UAE local law. Where a matter requires UAE court or onshore enforcement advice, local licensing, or mainland regulatory filings, we can help you identify the issue and recommend that you also engage qualified UAE counsel.

For cross-border Indian-UAE transactions, we pay particular attention to FEMA, FDI, sector-specific compliance and choice of governing law and dispute resolution.
