Belluzzo International Partners opens in Abu Dhabi

The Italian firm Belluzzo International Partners has opened a new office in Abu Dhabi, UAE, under the leadership of the firm’s founding partner Alessandro Belluzzo (pictured), as of January 2025. The office will focus on wealth, law, tax, and finance.

The new office will benefit from the expertise of John Gower, special counsel, a UK-qualified professional recognized for his expertise in international taxation. Additionally, the team will also include Jaffar Rakhimov, who will relocate to the UAE from the UK, and Niccoló Rossi. David Russel, who will act as a regular consultant, will further strengthen the firm’s presence.

Alessandro Belluzzo commented “Alongside London, the UAE is becoming a strategic hub where we can operate and provide support to international clients. Our work will primarily focus on providing international legal and tax advisory services to clients investing globally from the UAE. We will also continue to leverage our identity as Italian professionals with an international mindset”.
