WE ARE

Built for firms that need more than setup support

AxiomSync is a GIFT City-focused advisory platform designed for businesses that require structured, regulator-ready support rather than generic incorporation or registration work. We work with fund managers, fintechs, financial institutions, broker-dealers, family offices, and international groups that need a clear path from entry planning to post-launch compliance and operational readiness. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a GIFT City presence — from early-stage structuring and authorisation support to compliance documentation, governance design, legal drafting, and ongoing coordination after launch.

Why AxiomSync exists

GIFT City offers substantial strategic opportunity, but for many businesses the challenge is not deciding whether the jurisdiction is attractive — it is determining the right entry route, understanding the applicable regulatory pathways, preparing the documentation required, and meeting the compliance obligations that follow after licensing.

AxiomSync was created to address that gap with a more integrated model — one that combines legal, compliance, structuring, and operational thinking for businesses that need practical execution as much as high-level advice.

Backed by established international capability

AxiomSync draws on the wider capabilities of 10 Leaves and Legability — two established group practices that have supported clients on market entry, regulatory authorisations, compliance frameworks, fund structuring, SPVs, and legal documentation across the DIFC, ADGM, UAE, Luxembourg, Singapore and Mauritius.

How we work ?

Our approach is designed for clients whose work product must stand up to regulatory scrutiny. That means careful attention to legal and compliance documentation, practical thinking on implementation, and support that extends beyond the moment of setup. We focus on clarity, responsiveness, and commercially usable advice. Where a client is evaluating multiple jurisdictions, we bring a cross-border perspective informed by our group's direct experience across the UAE (DIFC and ADGM), Luxembourg, Mauritius, and India.
