Advisory & Transactions
Advisory & Risk Consulting
Growth without control creates fragility. We design the controls, policies and governance that help founder-led businesses scale with confidence and give boards information they can trust.
How we help
Control that supports confident growth
Falcon International
When clients call us
• Before a milestone, a fundraise, sale or bank facility where diligence will open the machinery. • After a surprise, a fraud, a loss, a resignation that revealed how much lived in one person's head. • At generational transition, when informal founder control must become institutional control. • On regulator request, where a license or bank requires demonstrable governance.

Forensic Services
When something is wrong, or might be, you need people who can follow the numbers and stand behind what they find. Our forensic work combines audit-grade evidence handling with the discretion these matters demand.
Falcon International
Dispute Resolution Advisory
Financial disputes are won on analysis the tribunal can trust. We support counsel and clients with numbers that survive cross-examination.

AML / CFT Advisory
The UAE has moved from writing AML rules to enforcing them, with inspections, fines and license consequences for firms that treated compliance as a folder on a shelf. We build AML frameworks that work in practice: registered, documented, trained and inspection-ready.

FAQ
We received an inspection notice. What now?
Call us before responding. Most penalties we see are for documentation gaps, not wrongdoing, and the response window is when the outcome is decided.
We registered on goAML years ago and did nothing since. Are we exposed?
Registration without a living framework, risk assessments, training logs, screening records, is a common penalty pattern. A remediation project closes the gap faster than you expect.
Does this apply to our holding company?
Pure holding entities are generally outside DNFBP scope, but UBO register obligations apply to nearly all UAE entities. We confirm scope entity by entity.
