The challenge: enabling UAE workforce delivery for global consulting clients without local entity dependency

The solution: Nathan & Nathan as the UAE Employer of Record and execution partner for INS

The results: end-to-end compliant UAE hiring and workforce deployment without entity setup for both INS and their clients

INS, a global consulting company, supports international clients with workforce strategy, HR advisory, and cross-border expansion solutions. As demand for UAE-based hiring and deployment increased, INS needed a way to serve clients in the region without building a local legal entity or operational infrastructure.

By partnering with Nathan & Nathan, INS was able to extend its consulting services into the UAE seamlessly, while also enabling its clients to hire and deploy employees locally without establishing their own entities.

This created a dual impact model:

  • INS expanded its UAE service capability without setting up a local entity

  • INS clients hired and operated in the UAE without establishing their own legal presence

Nathan & Nathan's licensed Employer of Record infrastructure, manpower licensing, compliance expertise, and technology-led onboarding platform enabled this end-to-end execution model.

Key outcomes:

Enabled INS to deliver UAE workforce solutions without establishing a local entity

Allowed INS clients to hire employees in the UAE without entity formation

Provided fully compliant employment, visas, payroll, and HR administration

Accelerated onboarding and workforce deployment timelines

Reduced legal, operational, and regulatory complexity for both INS and its clients

Enabled scalable UAE delivery across multiple consulting engagements

The challenge: enabling cross-border consulting delivery without UAE entity setup barriers

As a global consulting firm, INS works with multinational organisations navigating workforce expansion, transformation projects, and regional scaling strategies.

However, delivering workforce execution in the UAE created structural challenges:

  • UAE employment requires a licensed legal entity or approved employment sponsor

  • Clients were not ready to establish entities for short- to mid-term needs

  • INS itself did not maintain a UAE operational entity

  • Workforce deployment required immigration, payroll, and labour compliance capability

  • Multiple client engagements needed to be executed simultaneously

This created a clear gap between advisory capability and on-ground execution.

INS needed a trusted UAE partner who could bridge strategy with execution while ensuring full compliance for all stakeholders.

The solution: Nathan & Nathan as the UAE execution and Employer of Record partner

Nathan & Nathan enabled INS to extend its consulting services into the UAE without operational or legal setup.

The partnership was built on three core capabilities:

Licensed UAE Employer of Record infrastructure Nathan & Nathan acted as the legal employer for client-assigned employees, removing the need for both INS and their clients to establish local entities.

This included:

  • UAE employment contracts

  • Work permits and residency visas

  • Payroll processing and WPS compliance

  • Insurance and statutory benefits

  • HR administration and employee lifecycle support

Dedicated execution and onboarding teams Nathan & Nathan provided specialised operational teams to manage onboarding, visa coordination, documentation, and workforce readiness.

This ensured consistent delivery across multiple client engagements without delays.

Technology-enabled workforce management Through Nathan & Nathan's HR platform, INS and its clients gained structured visibility over:
  • Employee onboarding progress

  • Visa and immigration stages

  • Payroll and compliance workflows

  • HR documentation and approvals

This eliminated manual coordination and improved execution efficiency.

The results: seamless UAE workforce expansion for INS and their clients

By partnering with Nathan & Nathan, INS successfully extended its consulting services into the UAE without building local infrastructure, while simultaneously enabling its clients to operate without entity setup.

UAE market expansion without entity formation for INS INS was able to immediately offer UAE workforce solutions as part of its consulting portfolio without establishing a legal presence in the region.
Clients hired in the UAE without incorporating locally INS clients were able to onboard employees in the UAE through Nathan & Nathan's EOR structure without creating their own entities or navigating regulatory setup.
Fully compliant end-to-end workforce execution Nathan & Nathan ensured compliance across labour law, immigration, payroll, insurance, and employment contracts for all stakeholders.
Faster time-to-market for consulting engagements Workforce deployment timelines were significantly reduced, enabling faster project execution and client delivery.
Scalable multi-client delivery model INS was able to support multiple UAE workforce projects simultaneously without building internal operational capacity.

_INS and Nathan & Nathan share a unified objective: enabling global organisations to operate in the UAE without structural barriers._

_With Nathan & Nathan's legal employment infrastructure, manpower licensing, compliance expertise, and technology-enabled onboarding systems, INS can now deliver UAE workforce solutions at scale, while their clients hire locally with speed, compliance, and confidence._
