RLD > Dubai, United Arab Emirates > Firm Profile

Tailor made service
RLD was founded in 1989 as a boutique law firm specialized in commercial advice (M&A, contracting, financing, etc.) lead by Rafael López-Diéguez Gamoneda. The firm focuses its activity on legal and business advice. Covering both branches of activity, RLD has positioned itself as one of the reference boutique firms in Spain in the M&A sector, advising some of the main family offices and business groups in Spain in their commercial operations and international expansion as well as listed and non listed companies.

The firm is particularly experienced in deals across Spain with increasing activity in cross-border M&A transactions, especially related to Portugal, France, UAE and Latam. The practice offers ‘unique, well-rounded solutions’ and the multi-disciplinary team at RLD specializes in advising listed companies, multinationals, large industrials, real estate companies, healthcare sector and family office on multi-jurisdictional deals.

International presence
Since its origins, but especially in the last decade, RLD has intensified its international presence, carrying out reference operations both in Latin America and being a pioneer in the Middle East.

Therefore, RLD decided in 2012 to open offices in the United Arab Emirates, being the first Spanish-speaking firm with offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with local Spanish team and permanent presence in this country. ​
