Praxis brings over five decades of global expertise in private wealth and corporate services.
A pioneer in the region, we were the first to secure a Trustee Licence in ADGM in 2016 and have maintained the longest-standing Fund Administrator Licence (since 2017). Our 2021 expansion into Company Service Provider (CSP) activities allows us to deliver comprehensive, fully regulated corporate solutions across free zones and onshore jurisdictions.
Operating from offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, our 20-strong team delivers clients full support in private wealth, corporate services, fund administration, and pension & employer solutions. Our local presence gives us the agility and insight to manage crossborder structures, wealth structuring and estate planning services, and governance demands. By delivering tailored solutions on the ground, we empower our clients to succeed in both local and global markets.
Saffery Trust is an independent provider of fiduciary services. Saffery Trust established an International offering with an office in Guernsey in 1977, and Switzerland in 2008. In October 2018 a presence in the Dubai International Financial Centre was established. A Cayman offering was launched in 2020, with Saffery operating as a subsidiary under a licenced Cayman trust company. Following regulatory approval and the acquisition of a Cayman trust company in 2022, Saffery Trust then opened an office under its own licence.
As our reach has expanded globally, as has our experience of safeguarding and protecting our clients’ wealth.

We maintain a close working relationship with our clients and their professional advisers, working in partnership, to allow us to provide a highly focused level of personal service to meet our clients’ changing needs.
