Dhruva will adopt the Ryan brand across the UAE and Saudi Arabia by the end of 2026. The move strengthens the firm’s connection with Ryan’s global tax services platform.
As part of this transition, Ryan will bring Dhruva’s Middle East operations under its unified global brand. Furthermore, through this transition, the position of Ryan in the international business tax market will be solidified. Dhruva and Ryan have come up with a strategic joint venture in the year 2025.
The clients of the Middle East will continue to work with the same advisory firms. Yet, they will get increased access to the global expertise and technology that Ryan has. The Ryan brand change combines Dhruva’s regional knowledge base with Ryan’s international expertise, creating a unified global knowledge platform.
“The Middle East has been a strategic growth market for us for many years, and we have built a strong advisory practice founded on deep client relationships, technical excellence, and local market understanding,” said Dinesh Kanabar, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Dhruva Advisors and Vice Chairman, Ryan. “The transition to the Ryan brand marks a significant milestone in our journey and reflects the strength of our partnership. By combining our regional expertise with Ryan’s global scale, technology, and international capabilities, we are creating an even stronger platform to support clients across the region as they navigate an increasingly dynamic and evolving tax landscape.”
Dhruva and Ryan Strengthen Global Tax Partnership
Meanwhile, Ryan plans to continue investing in its Middle East operations. The company will expand its teams, capabilities, and presence across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh.
“The Middle East is one of the most important growth markets for tax advisory services globally, and we are investing in the region with a long-term view,” said Tom Shave, President of Ryan’s European and Asia-Pacific Operations. “Uniting under the Ryan brand strengthens how we serve clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Europe bringing seamless access to our global expertise, technology, and international resources through one trusted platform. This transition marks an important milestone in our integration and reinforces our commitment to the region’s future.”
The practice provides corporate tax, VAT, indirect tax, transfer pricing, and M&A tax structuring services. It also supports R&D incentives and cross-border compliance requirements.
“The response from our clients over the past year has been the clearest validation of this partnership,” said Nimish Goel, Leader, Middle East, Dhruva, a Ryan Affiliate. “From the outset, our teams have been integrating Ryan’s global capabilities in technology, specialized expertise, and best practices into the work we already lead in the region. Adopting the Ryan brand is the natural next step. It is the same people and the same trusted relationships, now carrying the name of the largest Firm in the world dedicated exclusively to business taxes.”
The Ryan brand rollout will begin during the second half of 2026. Signage, visual identity, and digital properties will transition across the region in phases.
