Dubai1 openingFull time

Practice: Succession Planning
Location: Dubai
Experience: Junior to mid-level
Reports to: Partner, UAE operations (heads this division)

Role purpose

To support the full succession planning mandate, which runs well beyond tax analysis into structuring, drafting and execution.

Key responsibilities

Legal structuring of family holding arrangements across DIFC, ADGM and RAK ICC foundations, and associated vehicles.
Drafting: charters, by-laws, regulations, transfer documentation and related instruments.
Working out transaction mechanics: who transfers what to whom, in what sequence, and at what point.
Dubai real estate transfers, including the Dubai Land Department dimension.
Managing the incorporation process through corporate service providers (CSPs), including selecting which CSP to engage for a given structure.
Coordinating with the India practice on the cross-border tax and FEMA interface.

Candidate profile

Junior to mid-level, with flexibility on seniority, which will be driven by the depth of relevant experience.
A purely tax-focused private client profile is not what is required. KCM is already strong on the tax side; what is needed is the full gamut of work described above.
Experience with UAE foundations and family structures is the differentiator.
