Our Founder
Anam Khan
Founder & CEO
Anam Khan is the driving force behind AK & Alif, a consultancy founded on one core belief: strong foundations lead to sustainable growth. A first-class law graduate with cross-border legal and operational experience, she blends legal precision with strategic clarity to guide businesses beyond just setup—toward long-term stability.
What sets Anam apart is her philosophy: speed without clarity causes more harm than good. Her approach is never about ticking boxes—it’s about asking better questions, offering thoughtful alternatives, and acting with urgency and ownership.
From legal structuring to compliance, licensing to strategic advisory, across the UAE and beyond, Anam brings the kind of care and clarity that most founders wish they had from the start.
At AK & Alif, she leads with both confidence and compassion—because when your foundation is built right, everything else has room to rise.
Our Story
AK & Alif was born from a simple observation:
We witnessed founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs struggling with the same challenges;
- Red tape
- Vague advice
- Unclear timelines
Service providers who did what they were told without asking: is this even the best way?
Too often, people rush to complete tasks only to discover they’ve been solving the wrong problems all along. These visionaries deserved more than just checked boxes.
So we built what was missing:
A consultancy that combines:
- Legal expertise, strategic thinking, and genuine care
- No jargon or generic templates
- Clear guidance tailored to your journey
- Partners who prioritize your success over quick transactions
Our Name
Our name carries our mindset:
AK represents Anam Khan's commitment to precision, care, and excellence in every client engagement.
Alif, the beginning of the Arabic alphabet, represents structured, purposeful beginnings, the kind that stand the test of time.
Together, they embody our promise: foundations built with purpose last.
