James Berry & Associates has an active property department advising corporate and private clients on all issues relating to the sale and purchase of freehold property and contracting for leasehold property. The Emirate of Dubai has become a pioneering centre for the ownership of property by foreigners in specially designated areas and there has been significant increase in construction activity to cater for this demand.

Our department has gained wide experience in assisting its clients not only on the legal issues surrounding property purchases but also at a practical level at the various transfer departments where we are able to offer personal service to our clients. We also handle the formation of offshore companies and trust corporations in various offshore jurisdictions (including the Jebel Ali Free Zone).
