Frequently Asked Questions

Setting up a business in Dubai involves several crucial legal considerations, including selecting the appropriate legal structure (e.g., LLC, Free Zone company), understanding licensing requirements, and adhering to local labor laws. It's essential to meticulously draft and review all foundational documents, such as memorandums of association and shareholder agreements, to ensure compliance with UAE commercial laws. Additionally, businesses must navigate foreign ownership regulations, which have become more flexible but still require careful attention depending on the industry. Proper legal guidance can help streamline this process and prevent future complications.

At Business & Investment Law UAE, we offer comprehensive support for breach of contract disputes, ranging from initial negotiation and mediation to full-scale litigation. Our approach begins with a thorough analysis of the contract terms and the circumstances surrounding the alleged breach. We then advise clients on the most effective strategies to resolve the dispute, whether through amicable settlement or legal action. Our expertise in UAE contract law ensures that our clients' rights are protected and that we pursue the most favorable outcomes, minimizing disruption to their business operations.

The UAE has significantly reformed its foreign investment regulations, notably through the New Commercial Companies Law, which allows 100% foreign ownership in many onshore sectors. This is a substantial shift from previous requirements for a local sponsor or partner. However, certain strategic sectors may still have restrictions or require specific approvals. These changes aim to attract more foreign direct investment and boost economic diversification. Understanding the nuances of these reforms is crucial for foreign investors, and our firm provides up-to-date guidance on navigating these new opportunities and requirements.

Ensuring ongoing corporate legal compliance in Dubai requires a proactive and continuous effort. This includes regularly reviewing and updating company bylaws, adhering to evolving labor laws, and submitting accurate financial reports to relevant authorities. Businesses must also stay informed about new regulations concerning data protection, intellectual property, and consumer rights. Implementing robust internal compliance policies and conducting regular legal audits can help identify and mitigate potential risks before they escalate. Our firm offers retainer services to provide continuous legal oversight and ensure your business remains fully compliant.

Risk assessment is a critical component in forming and maintaining business partnerships in the UAE. Before entering any partnership, it is vital to conduct thorough due diligence on potential partners, assessing their financial stability, reputation, and legal history. Identifying potential conflicts of interest, understanding liability implications, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities in a comprehensive partnership agreement are essential. Our firm assists clients in performing detailed risk assessments, drafting robust partnership agreements, and establishing clear exit strategies to protect their interests and ensure the longevity and success of their collaborations.
