Andrea Krage

Ms. Andrea Krage is a Senior Legal Consultant and Partner at Al Safar & Partners, where she leads the firm's advisory services to German-speaking clients and European nationals across the UAE. Her trilingual capabilities in German, English, and Arabic — combined with extensive knowledge of UAE federal and emirate-level law — make her the go-to advisor for the large German, Austrian, and Swiss expatriate community in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Ms. Krage's legal practice is broad and client-driven: she advises on corporate law (company formation, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts), family law (divorce under UAE Personal Status Law, child custody, matrimonial property), employment disputes, and property matters. She has a particular strength in cross-border family law matters — handling cases where the laws of a European jurisdiction and UAE law both apply, for example in international divorce or child relocation cases.

German-speaking clients — whether individuals, SMEs, or subsidiaries of European multinationals — benefit from her ability to explain the UAE legal system in their language and cultural context, removing the barriers of legal and linguistic translation. She regularly assists German companies entering the UAE market, structuring their operations, drafting Arabic-language contracts, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Beyond her technical legal expertise, Ms. Krage is known for her client dedication and calm, methodical approach to complex matters. She has developed a loyal following among the European expatriate community in Dubai, who value both her legal competence and her culturally nuanced advice during what are often the most challenging periods of their lives.
