Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key legal considerations when starting a business in Dubai?

Key legal considerations include selecting the appropriate business structure (mainland, free zone, or offshore), understanding ownership restrictions, identifying required licenses and permits for your activities, establishing proper corporate governance, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations, protecting intellectual property, drafting foundational legal documents, and understanding employment laws. Our legal advisory service provides guidance on all these aspects to ensure a legally sound business foundation.

How are commercial disputes typically resolved in the UAE?

Commercial disputes in the UAE can be resolved through several channels: direct negotiation, mediation through specialized centers, arbitration (domestic or international), or litigation through UAE courts (including specialized commercial courts and the DIFC/ADGM courts for certain matters). The most appropriate method depends on your specific situation, contract terms, relationship preservation needs, cost considerations, and desired outcome. Our advisory services help identify the optimal dispute resolution strategy for your circumstances.

What legal protections exist for intellectual property in Dubai?

Dubai offers strong intellectual property protection through both federal UAE laws and international agreements. Trademarks can be registered with the Ministry of Economy, providing 10-year renewable protection. Patents are filed through the UAE Patent Office for 20-year protection. Copyrights are automatically protected for literary and artistic works, with optional registration available. Trade secrets are protected under unfair competition laws. Our legal advisory services guide you through appropriate IP protection strategies for your business assets.

How do UAE employment laws differ from other countries?

UAE employment law has several distinctive features: limited-term contracts are common, with specific rules for termination; end-of-service gratuity payments are mandatory based on service length; probation periods are legally defined; working hours and overtime have specific regulations; there are unique provisions for annual leave, sick leave, and maternity leave; labor disputes follow specialized resolution procedures; and Emiratization policies may apply. Free zones may have additional employment regulations. Our legal advisors ensure your employment practices comply with all applicable laws.
