SpineLegal is based at International House, Cromwell Road — less than a mile from the Law Society. That origin carries weight in the Gulf, where DIFC and ADGM law firms operate under English common law and deal daily with London-based counterparts.
A London HQ is not marketing — it is the reason SpineLegal’s workflows, precedents and compliance logic are built around the common law system your DIFC or ADGM practice already uses. There is no adaptation required.
Yes. SpineLegal can be hosted within Microsoft Azure's Middle East data centres (UAE North region) to meet UAE data localisation requirements. The UAE PDPL came into full effect on 1 January 2026. SpineLegal's Data Protection Impact Assessment tools and breach notification workflows are aligned with PDPL obligations.
Yes. Both the DIFC and ADGM operate under English common law — the same framework SpineLegal was built for. Case management, document templates, billing workflows and court deadline tracking all translate directly to DIFC and ADGM practice.
DIFC and ADGM entities must retain AML/CFT records for six years — longer than the five-year UAE federal minimum. SpineLegal's audit log system defaults to the longer period. Compliance Officers and MLROs must be UAE residents under DIFC and ADGM rules — SpineLegal's access control system supports separate compliance officer roles with appropriate permissions.
Yes. SpineLegal's document automation supports Arabic templates with right-to-left layout. Firms can produce client-facing documents in Arabic, English or bilingual format from the same matter file. The client portal is also available in Arabic.
