Against this backdrop and building on its announcement earlier this year to extend its India-focused consultancy services, Habib Al Mulla and Partners hosted an exclusive reception and dinner in New Delhi. The evening, led by Dr. Habib Al Mulla, Founder of the firm, brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and prominent Indian law firms to explore new avenues within the India–UAE trade and investment corridor. The firm had the distinct honor of welcoming His Excellency Dr. Abdulnasser Alshaali, UAE Ambassador to India, who graced the occasion alongside other distinguished dignitaries from India and beyond. Members of the firm’s leadership team and senior representatives from Dubai, together with colleagues from its offices in Turkey, Russia, Iraq, and Egypt, also took part in the discussions, sharing diverse perspectives on international trade and cross-border investment.
By combining regional expertise with a collaborative approach, the firm’s India team can help enterprises navigate complex regulatory landscapes, ensuring that their expansion and growth strategies are both strategic and sustainable. Furthermore, by engaging with a referral network of India-based lawyers, the firm ensures that clients from its regional offices have access to legal professionals in India who can advise on matters governed by Indian law, helping them pursue growth with confidence and compliance.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Habib Al Mulla, Founder, Habib Al Mulla and Partners said, “The UAE continues to evolve as a global hub for finance, innovation, and strategic investments, and Habib Al Mulla and Partners has been working closely with regulators and enterprises to enable growth and unlock new opportunities.
We believe it is the right time for Indian enterprises, family offices, and business groups to consider the UAE as a strategic base for regional and global expansion. By working closely with Indian law firms, we ensure seamless market entry and partnership opportunities for clients who want to enter the UAE market.”
Siddhant Sharma, Head of Business Development – India at Habib Al Mulla and Partners added, “The evolving regulatory and economic landscape in the UAE is paving the way for transformative growth across key industries. With reforms aimed at enhancing cross-border trade, investment facilitation, and corporate governance, businesses now have a clearer framework to structure partnerships and scale operations efficiently.
Industries like renewable energy, fintech, logistics, and advanced manufacturing are witnessing transformative momentum, and our role is to help Indian enterprises navigate these shifts strategically, unlocking value while ensuring compliance and long-term sustainability.”
At the heart of this initiative is Habib Al Mulla and Partners’ focus on building strong relationships with leading Indian law firms, businesses, and professionals. By working closely through referrals and shared insights, the firm aims to create a network that adds real value to clients on both sides. The goal is simple, to offer clients trusted, coordinated support as they grow their businesses across India, the UAE, and beyond, while always respecting the legal frameworks of each jurisdiction.
The firm’s sectoral experience spans finance, technology, healthcare, real estate, and other key sectors, enabling it to deliver tailored solutions for Indian enterprises seeking to establish or expand their presence in the UAE market.
Overall, the dinner marked a significant milestone in strengthening the economic and cultural ties between India and the UAE, reflecting the growing convergence of business interests between the two nations. It highlighted how both countries are aligning their growth priorities around sustainable development, innovation, and global market integration setting the stage for a more resilient and future-ready partnership.
