As the leading international resource for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs), Spear’s 500 is known for highlighting the very best private client advisers globally. Nita’s inclusion in the 2024 edition reflects her commitment to delivering tailored legal solutions in Wills, Probate, Inheritance, and Legacy Planning—areas that are increasingly important for expatriates and investors in the UAE.

Spear’s Review

Of the high-powered lawyers making waves in the UAE, Nita Maru is among the most formidable. When she established her firm, TWS Legal Consultants, in 2009, she’d advocated for the development of the DIFC Wills and probate system to consider expatriates and non-Muslims who’d prefer their estate to be determined as per their own wishes and not by Sharia Law. ‘Many expatriates were unaware that their estate could be subject to UAE law, leading to unforeseen complications, particularly for families with complex asset and business structures,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘By advocating for these communities and helping them navigate the legal landscape, I aimed to provide peace of mind and security for their family.’ Almost two decades on, Maru has cemented her reputation as a leading Wills Specialist in the region.
