Real Estate & Construction and Hotels & Leisure
Real estate, construction, and hospitality are at the forefront of transformation across the Middle East – reshaping cities, driving investment, and demanding increasingly sophisticated legal frameworks.
In the June edition of Law Update, we take a closer look at the legal shifts influencing the sector – from Dubai’s new Real Estate Investment Funds Law and major reforms in Qatar, to Bahrain’s push toward digitalisation in property and timeshare regulation. We also explore practical issues around strata, zoning, joint ventures, and hotel management agreements that are critical to navigating today’s market.
As the landscape becomes more complex, understanding the legal dynamics behind these developments is key to making informed, strategic decisions.
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.

As the region positions itself for deeper global integration, businesses must adapt to a rapidly evolving legal environment.

Saudi Employment Law presentation – KSA, Jeddah, April 28-2019
Mohsin Khan, Senior Associate, Employment & Incentives delivered a presentation on the Saudi Employment Law to the Jeddah British Business Group (BBG) which took place at the British Consulate on the 28th April 2019.
The British Business Group is one of the most active national business groups in Jeddah. BBG was originally created to promote the growth of trade in goods and services between UK and KSA. During Mohsin’s presentation, he addressed key employment rights under the Labour Law, issues related to Saudisation and provided an update on some recent developments. With consultancy, retail, education, engineering, construction and manufacturing being some of the main business sectors within BBG the seminar provided a platform to hear from the members around their 2019 objectives and future plans. A big thank you to Wissam Saadi, Chris Barsby from the British Business Group and Kabeer Rahman, British Consulate for supporting the event.
