Frequently asked questions

Advisory vs company formation - what’s the difference?

Advisory is about path, structure, and growth decisions. Company formation is licence filing coordination under Lexoford’s separate three service-fee tiers (AED 3,999 / 4,999 / 7,999 service-only; authority fees at cost).

Do you work with Chinese companies?

Yes. Lexoford runs a China desk with English and Chinese support. Lexoford does not publish invented client percentages or rankings.

Is this legal advice?

No. Lexoford is not a law firm. When legal work is needed, it is delivered through a partner licensed practice; Lexoford manages scope and timeline.
