Having been in the region since 1980 you learn to appreciate the importance having a good support structure to keep both you and your business up to date with all legal requirements and regulations attached to everyday life In 2003 I partnered with James Berry Associates in the set up of a branch of an Australian hotel apartments group who successfully opened a property in JLT Dubai. The assistance and support through all legal and banking issues were dealt with efficiently by JB and his professional staff. On a personal basis I have used JB for company formation which is up and running as well as domestic matters I would not hesitate to recommend JB associates as they have a team of professionals for all legal activities under one roof.
