Bilingual by design

Every document, meeting and deliverable in English or Spanish, with no rough translations on operations that move serious capital. A clear cultural bridge between Europe, Latin America and the UAE.

Marina Ramirez Lorca · Founder of LorcaBase
Our firm in Dubai

There has always been the same gap in Dubai: local firms that didn't speak Spanish, or Hispanic consultancies operating remotely without a real office in the UAE. LorcaBase was founded as a legal and tax firm based in Dubai to close that gap, with service in English and Spanish and all services under one roof.

Today the firm operates from Marina Plaza, Level 27, serving entrepreneurs, SMEs and private wealth across English- and Spanish-speaking markets. Each engagement is led directly by a partner, never delegated to a junior or call center, and coordinated on dual CET / GST hours to keep clients in Europe, Latin America and the Americas in sync with local regulators and counterparts.
