Sheldon Labuschagne
Knightsbridge Group is a licensed and regulated international advisory firm, headquartered in Dubai with offices in London, Istanbul and Milan. Founded in 2010, it has grown into a respected practice supporting individuals, families and businesses with major cross-border decisions, and has been named International Immigration Advisory Firm of the Year in the United Arab Emirates at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. Sheldon Labuschagne serves as Chief Executive Officer.
Immigration and investment migration are central to the firm's work. Knightsbridge advises high-net-worth clients on securing tax-efficient second residences and citizenships through government-approved investment programmes, spanning citizenship-by-investment routes such as Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Turkey and Vanuatu, and residency-by-investment options across Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Panama, the UAE and the United Kingdom. The firm brings clarity to programmes that differ widely in cost, timeline and long-term benefit.
That immigration practice sits within a broader multidisciplinary offering. The firm combines legal, fiduciary, corporate and accounting services, advising on corporate structuring, banking, DIFC foundations, international company formation, legacy planning and Dubai real estate. This integrated model allows clients to coordinate a relocation or investment programme alongside the structuring, banking and estate-planning questions that inevitably accompany it, all handled by a single team able to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional matters.
Knightsbridge describes its team as comprising more than thirty legal experts with over two hundred years of combined experience, and emphasises a client-first, independent approach. For clients weighing life-changing decisions about where they and their families will live, invest and hold assets, that independence is designed to ensure advice is grounded in each client's circumstances rather than any single programme, an approach the firm frames in terms of clarity and trust.
Sheldon Labuschagne brings more than a decade of experience to the firm's leadership, with a background advising clients across Africa and Europe on business migration and mobility. He has been instrumental in helping clients secure successful pathways to residence through investment programmes in Europe and beyond, and has developed a deep understanding of the complexities of international migration. Under his direction, Knightsbridge Group's recognition as International Immigration Advisory Firm of the Year in the United Arab Emirates at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 reflects the reputation the firm has built serving a global, mobile clientele from its Dubai base.
