The 2025 Healthcare Odyssey
Welcome to the first edition of Law Update for 2025. As we begin this exciting year, we are pleased to turn our attention to one of the most dynamic sectors in the UAE and the broader GCC region – healthcare. Over the past several years, the region has seen unprecedented growth in this sector, driven by legislative advancements, technological innovations, and the increasing focus on sustainability and AI. As such, healthcare is set to be one of the most important sectors in the coming decade.
In this issue, we explore key themes that are significantly shaping the future of healthcare in the UAE, such as recent changes in foreign ownership laws. These reforms present a major opportunity for foreign investors, opening up new avenues for international collaborations and improving the overall healthcare infrastructure. The changes in ownership laws are an important milestone, and we provide an analysis of what this means for the industry and the various players involved.

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.
