Not necessarily. While mainland companies historically required a 51% UAE national partner, recent reforms (Federal Decree-Law No. 26 of 2020) now allow 100% foreign ownership in most commercial and industrial activities. Free zones and the DIFC also permit full foreign ownership. We advise based on your specific business activity and growth plans.
Timelines vary significantly. A straightforward contract dispute in the Dubai Courts may resolve in 6–12 months, while complex cases involving multiple jurisdictions or expert evidence can take 18–24 months or longer. DIFC Courts often proceed faster due to their common law framework. We provide realistic timelines during your initial consultation.
Dubai's rental laws (Law No. 26 of 2007 and amendments) provide strong protections for tenants. Landlords can only increase rent according to the RERA Rental Increase Calculator, must provide 12 months' notice for eviction (except in specific cases like owner-occupation), and must maintain the property in habitable condition. Disputes are handled by the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre.
Since Federal Law No. 41 of 2022, non-Muslim expatriates can choose to have their divorce governed by their home country's civil law rather than Sharia principles, provided both parties consent. The law also introduced no-fault divorce options. Assets acquired during marriage are divided equitably. We guide clients through this sensitive process with cultural competence and legal precision.
