Our cases
Development of a local regulation on issues related to vacations and sick leave in a new client company in the UAE
We developed a single local regulatory act on issues of providing vacations and sick leaves, including general annual paid leave, maternity leave, family leave, rules for accounting of vacation pay, sick leave and holidays in the UAE. Not only the requirements of the federal legislation of the UAE were taken into account, but also the regulation of the specific Free Zone in which the client's company is foreign-incorporated.
Assessing the structuring of personal assets to generate income as a tax resident in Portugal
Conducted an analysis and assessed tax, sanctions and counter-sanction risks associated with various asset structuring methods (primarily assets in the UAE). The analysis helped the client choose the optimal jurisdiction for establishing a personal company and adjust cash flows in order to maximize the beneficial effect of tax incentives in all jurisdictions involved.
Protecting a Game Developer's Domain Name Rights Through International Domain Arbitration
Selected domains that were potentially of great importance to the client's business and its business objectives, developed a strategy for obtaining rights to the selected domains, developed and filed a quasi-judicial application to the DDRP, in which the client's right to the domains was substantiated. The rights to both domains that the client was interested in were transferred to him.
Analysis of the tax implications of becoming a tax resident in Spain
We compared the tax implications of all client income from all jurisdictions in various scenarios (maintaining non-resident status, obtaining resident status, or using the "Beckham Law" benefits for remote workers). We described all withholding taxes in all jurisdictions, all benefits available in each jurisdiction (including foreign tax credit and restrictions on its use), the client's asset restructuring options and potential risks, as well as the procedure for obtaining Spanish resident status and the "Beckham Law" benefits.
