News & Insights
UAE merger control: Does your deal need a Competition Law filing?
The UAE’s new Competition Law has made merger control a real closing issue for deals with a UAE nexus. Transactions may require a Ministry of Economy filing before completion if they meet the AED 300 million turnover threshold or the 40% market-share threshold.

UAE Emiratisation rules: Quotas, Nafis support and MOHRE fines
Emiratisation is now a live compliance file for UAE private companies, with higher quotas, monthly penalties, AI-driven inspections and criminal risk for fake hires. Employers need real roles, proper contracts, payroll evidence and a retention plan that can survive MOHRE scrutiny.
Trade secrets in the UAE: How companies can protect confidential business information
UAE law protects trade secrets as enforceable business assets, but protection depends on more than a confidentiality clause. Companies must prove they took effective measures to keep the information secret, especially when dealing with departing employees, ex-partners and digital leaks.
