TME Legal
Commercial and Corporate Law in Dubai
Commercial and corporate law in Dubai: Expert legal advice for contracts, corporate structures & compliance.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), especially Dubai, is one of the leading economic locations in the Middle East. Companies benefit here from a state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent international networking opportunities and attractive tax conditions – factors that are increasingly making Dubai a preferred location for company settlements.
However, starting a business in Dubai requires a thorough understanding of the local legal framework. The commercial and corporate law of the UAE differs in essential points from German law, for example with regard to corporate taxation, regulations on free trade zones and permissible forms of company. Even seemingly small errors in the choice of legal form, contract drafting or compliance with legal requirements can have significant economic and legal consequences.
