Africa & Asia
Connecting Continents, Shaping Law
This month, our focus turns to Africa and Asia, two regions reshaping global growth and investment. From Egypt’s ongoing legal and economic reforms and the strengthening of UAE–Moroccan relations, to the rise of Korean investment across the Middle East, this issue highlights the developments driving change across these markets.
We also explore the UAE’s role as a bridge between regions – a hub for private wealth management, dispute resolution, and cross-border collaboration, connecting businesses and investors across Africa and Asia. The articles in this edition offer practical insights into how these shifts are influencing trade, regulation, and market confidence across the wider region.
2025 is set to be a game-changer for the MENA region, with legal and regulatory shifts from 2024 continuing to reshape its economic landscape. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, and Bahrain are all implementing groundbreaking reforms in sustainable financing, investment laws, labor regulations, and dispute resolution. As the region positions itself for deeper global integration, businesses must adapt to a rapidly evolving legal environment.
Our Eyes on 2025 publication provides essential insights and practical guidance on the key legal updates shaping the year ahead—equipping you with the knowledge to stay ahead in this dynamic market.

Environmental, Social, and Governance
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) |
At Al Tamimi & Company, it’s not just about being part of the conversation; we want to ensure our teams throughout all 17 of our offices across the region are doing their bit. As a business, we have identified specific areas where we can make an impact, such as recycling, energy consumption, reduction of business travel, and disposal of waste.
Law firms historically tended to look at ESG through the medium of CSR. Our thinking is different. We are in a process of mainstreaming the issues across our practice groups, sectors, jurisdictions and offices. Our goal is to ensure that we fully engage with the issues to ensure ESG considerations become pervasive across all of our activities. |
Our ESG agenda in action |
|
Waste Management and Recycling:
The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda continues to be a global priority across all industries. With the ongoing ESG concerns, there is an increasing need for accountability within our corporations, communities, and on an individual level.
Continuous investment and improvements are being made to the legal framework across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in order to support sustainable development and ESG compliance. Governments within our region are focused on growing sustainably (particularly UAE and KSA economies). The region has a proliferation of long-term “visions” and environment considerations are at the heart of these initiatives. The outcome of COP26 has also accelerated commitment and sustainable development plans.
Conference of the Parties (COP):
COP27 will take place in Egypt, and the UAE will host COP28.
