Biography
Dr. Abdultaiyab Bahrainwala, an award-winning corporate lawyer, holds a Law Doctorate from EUI (Paris), an LLM in International Business Law from NUS (Singapore and Shanghai), and a B.A.LLB from MSU (Baroda), India.
With over 14 years of experience, he’s a prominent figure in UAE’s legal landscape, excelling in real estate, company formation, construction, intellectual property, employment, commercial transactions, insurance, tenancy, inheritance, banking, and debt collection.
He’s adept at arbitration, having represented clients in various centers, and DIFC Courts, showcasing his dispute resolution proficiency.
As head of the Law Firm’s Corporate Department, he demonstrates strong leadership in managing corporate legal matters, establishing himself as a respected lawyer in the UAE.
Corporate Law with Academic Depth
Dr. Abdultaiyab Bahrainwala leads the firm’s Corporate Department with a combination rarely found in practice: an award-winning commercial lawyer’s track record and a scholar’s training — a Law Doctorate from EUI (Paris), an LLM in International Business Law from NUS (Singapore and Shanghai), and a B.A. LLB from MSU (Baroda). When cross-border transactions raise questions that span jurisdictions, that background is not decoration; it is the toolkit.
Across more than 14 years in the UAE, his practice has covered company formation and structuring, real estate and construction, intellectual property, employment, commercial transactions, insurance, tenancy, inheritance, banking and debt collection — the full lifecycle of business legal needs, from incorporation to dispute. He is an experienced arbitration advocate, having represented clients before multiple arbitral centres and the DIFC Courts.
Businesses retain Dr. Bahrainwala for structural decisions with long consequences: how to hold assets, how to paper a partnership, how to exit a venture — the questions where getting it right once beats litigating it twice.
