From IP Strategy to Value Creation in the UAE: Legal, tax and transfer pricing insights

Overview & Audience

Clyde & Co and Alvarez & Marsal are pleased to invite you to a joint webinar, From IP Strategy to Value Creation in the UAE: Legal, tax and transfer pricing insights.

As the UAE continues to emerge as a global hub for innovation and R&D, intellectual property (IP) assets play a key role in demonstrating the value that is derived from these efforts. As a result, businesses have been evaluating how they identify and protect their IP and whether their structures for IP ownership and licensing are sufficiently robust and support good governance. In March 2026, the UAE published legislation that made available tax credits and incentives for R&D activities in the UAE and this development adds another lens to the analysis, to ensure that the IP strategy is also properly aligned with the tax assessment of substance and transfer pricing principles.

This session will provide practical insights on the legal, tax and transfer pricing considerations for businesses with existing or planned IP structures in the region.

Topics will include:

• Strategies for structuring IP ownership and licensing in the UAE
• UAE corporate tax and transfer pricing considerations for IP structures
• UAE R&D tax credits
• Practical case studies

We look forward to welcoming you to this informative and interactive session.
