About CGI
and grow their operations. We turn complex commercial and regulatory objectives into practical plans, bring together the right specialists and manage delivery from the initial assessment through to implementation. Clients work directly with senior professionals who take responsibility for scope, progress and outcomes.
We support founders setting up their first mainland or free zone company, overseas businesses entering the UAE, established companies expanding into new activities and owners managing significant change. Our clients also include financial services firms, fund managers, family offices, SMEs, corporates and professional advisers who need a dependable partner to coordinate work across several disciplines.
In financial services, CGI supports licence applications and permission variations across ADGM, DIFC, CMA and VARA. We help firms develop business plans, policies, AML and compliance frameworks, risk processes, systems and controls, and the operational arrangements needed to put those plans into practice. We also provide fractional leadership and specialist support in compliance, MLRO, risk, operations and commercial development.
Our wider work includes company formation project management, banking remediation, investigations, governance reviews, operating model design and complex programme delivery. We help clients work through decisions, manage stakeholders and maintain momentum when a project requires several advisers or service providers.
CGI combines UAE market knowledge and established professional relationships with structured execution. Each engagement has a clear scope, agreed responsibilities, practical milestones and one senior point of accountability. For clients who need specialist capacity, we coordinate experienced independent consultants while keeping the work and client experience joined up.
