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 editionAbu Dhabi will soon publish a new law aimed at better regulating the real estate sector in Abu Dhabi, which has been through more than seven years of consultation, review and drafting. This will be a positive step towards attracting increased real estate investment in Abu Dhabi, and across the UAE more broadly, as the new law tackles many concerns raised by investors in the past. It also draws on the real estate investment experience in the remainder of the UAE, and especially in Dubai, over the last 10 years.
There are many encouraging provisions in the law including provisions for licensing, registering off-plan developments, restrictions on developers collecting registration fees, setting up owners’ associations for jointly owned property, mortgages and dealing with delays in construction.
We will provide a summary of this new law as soon as it is published.
