David Yates, Head of Commercial IP and Technology, and his team have collaborated with business parks Dubai Internet City and Dubai Outsource Zone to produce the firsedition of a newsletter “ICT in the UAE”. The first edition, issued in two parts, covered the following topics: “IT Outsourcing Governance”; “Best Practice: Latest Issues in Outsourcing Contracts”; “Online Promotional Campaigns: Pitfalls and Permits” and “Cyber Crimes in the UAE”. The business parks issued a media release to promote the publication, posted the publication on their websites and are distributing copies to media outlets and business park partners. Anyone who is interested in obtaining a copy can contact David directly at [email protected] or you can download the report from www.tamimi.com

David and his team are now working on the next edition which will focus on various legal issues arising from e-commerce. ICT is an area of continuing growth throughout the Middle East and Al Tamimi & Company is well placed to provide quality legal services to a broad range of clients in this area. “ICT in the UAE” is to be a regular publication which leverages from our firm’s already strong relationship with TECOM business parks, built over a number of years through the continued efforts of Samer Qudah, Partner and Omar Obeidat, Partner and Head of IT/IP among others.
