Who we are

Most firms protect assets. Aims protects momentum. The brand, the entity, the licence, the structure one asset, defended as one.

A strategic partner for what you own — and what you're building.

We work with businesses at every stage — from the first trademark search to multi-jurisdiction restructuring — so that legal structure never becomes the reason growth slows down.

Our practice spans two disciplines that most firms treat separately: intellectual property and corporate advisory. We treat them as one system, because for our clients, they are. The brand, the entity, the licence, the structure — each protects the others.

“Your name, your work, and your structure are one asset. We protect it as one.”

The process

From idea to enforceable asset.

Six stages. One continuous line of protection.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We map what you actually own — brands, works, inventions, secrets — and what it's worth protecting.

  2. 02

    Search

    Clearance and availability searches across every target market, before you invest another dirham in the name.

  3. 03

    Register

    Filing and prosecution, handled end to end. Trademarks, copyrights, patents — locally and internationally.

  4. 04

    Protect

    Watch services, customs recordals and contractual safeguards keep the asset defended while you build.

  5. 05

    Enforce

    Oppositions, takedowns, raids and litigation support. When someone crosses the line, we respond.

  6. 06

    Expand

    New markets, new classes, new licensing revenue. Protection that scales with your ambition.

Protection is not a moment. It's a discipline.

The lifecycle

From first licence to final filing — and every decision in between.

  1. 01Form

    Entity design, jurisdiction selection, licensing and setup.

  2. 02Operate

    Retainer counsel, compliance calendars and corporate housekeeping.

  3. 03Grow

    New activities, branches, shareholders and market entries.

  4. 04Restructure

    Holding companies, mergers, transfers and reorganisation.

  5. 05Resolve

    When it's time: orderly wind-up, liquidation and clean exits.

Most clients never reach stage five. The ones who do are glad it was planned in stage one.

Why Aims

Built for owners who think ahead.

01

Protect early, pay less later.

The cheapest IP dispute is the one your registration prevented.

02

One firm, whole picture.

IP strategy and corporate structure decided together — not discovered in conflict later.

03

Region-fluent, world-ready.

UAE and GCC depth, with international filing and enforcement reach.

04

Advice, not paperwork.

Every filing serves a commercial goal. If it doesn't, we'll tell you not to file it.

05

A partner on retainer.

Senior counsel available when decisions happen — not weeks after.
