Legislative Framework for Commercial Disputes in the UAE

Our defense and advisory strategies for commercial dispute resolution are built upon the UAE’s modernized legislative framework, most notably:

  • Federal Decree-Law on Commercial Transactions (governing commercial activities, contracts, and dispositions).

  • Federal Decree-Law on Commercial Companies (regulating corporate setup, corporate governance, and partner relations).

  • Federal Decree-Laws governing Intellectual Property Rights and Trademarks.

  • Federal Bankruptcy Laws, Protective Composition Regulations, and the UAE Federal Arbitration Law.
