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.

Two decades of DIFC and ADGM advisory — delivered by 10 Leaves

10 Leaves is one of the UAE's most established regulatory and corporate advisory practices, with a long-standing track record across the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The firm has advised asset managers, family offices, fintechs, and professional services firms on entity formation, licensing with the DFSA and FSRA, and the design of operating models suited to each jurisdiction's regulatory perimeter. From Category 3C and 4 asset management licences to DIFC Prescribed Companies, ADGM Foundations, SPVs, and Holding Company structures, 10 Leaves has implemented the full spectrum of vehicles used by international clients establishing in the UAE.

Beyond authorisations, 10 Leaves provides the ongoing compliance backbone that regulated firms depend on — outsourced Compliance and MLRO services, AML frameworks, regulatory business plans, financial projections, policies and procedures, and risk-based monitoring programmes. This depth of cross-jurisdictional experience — spanning DIFC, ADGM, GIFT City, Mauritius, and Luxembourg — is what AxiomSync brings to firms setting up or scaling in GIFT City, ensuring that structures designed here are coherent with global standards and the wider strategies of international groups.
