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 editionHaving spent the past eight years working in Dubai and Qatar, Michael was instrumental in the establishment of NASDAQ Dubai (then known as the Dubai International Financial Exchange ) by obtaining licences to operate an exchange and a clearing and settlement facility. Following this, Michael then went on to manage the regulatory side of the exchange and was responsible for the listing, market surveillance, membership and compliance functions.
He then went on to work with the Qatar Financial Markets Authority where his role included working in areas of licensing, capital markets, the implementation of the QFMA’s corporate governance code and the harmonization of the anti money laundering laws between regulators.
I am very excited to announce Michael’s appointment and encourage you, as a valued client of the firm, to get in touch with him directly should you have any questions relating to compliance within the financial services sector.
