Find out moreThe first Law Update of 2024 is here, and our first focus of the year spotlights Healthcare and Lifesciences, a sector that is undergoing significant growth and development across the MENA region.
Our focus provides an insight into some of the most important regulatory updates across the region, such as the UAE’s groundbreaking law on the use of human genome, Kuwait’s resolution on nuclear and radioactive materials, the new regulations for healthcare services in Qatar, Egypt’s healthcare regulatory framework, and the impact of the Saudi Civil Transactions Law on the healthcare and life sciences sector … and there is so much more!
Beyond the healthcare pages our lawyers share with you multi-sector insights where you will discover articles on Dubai’s DIFC regulatory framework for startups, Bahrain’s commercial agencies law, and we also shed light on Kuwaiti civil code and the advantages of setting up a joint stock company in Saudi Arabia.
Read the full editionThis month, it gives me great pleasure to announce the promotion of seven lawyers to the Al Tamimi partnership. The appointments (which you can read about on page 27) further reinforce our significant capability in Corporate Commercial, Employment, Maritime, Aviation & Insurance, Litigation, Intellectual Property, Construction and Insurance and underscore our market leading position in the Middle East.
We also present to you our Maritime, Aviation and Insurance team through our monthly ‘In Focus’ section. Please take some time to read more about the team and their offerings as well finding out more about cargo customs law in the UAE on page 37.
We have some interesting information for you from our regional offices with articles from Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq.
I’d also like to draw your attention to a contribution this month by the IBA on page 31 where you can read more about the evolution of the IBA. For those wishing to attend the conference here in Dubai later this year, I encourage you to register before the 29th July to take advantage of the early registration discount. We are very excited that Dubai has been chosen as the destination for the annual IBA conference and look forward to welcoming many of our international clients here in October/November.
