Navigating the evolving real estate regulatory environment in the UAE requires deep knowledge of local laws, government policies, and market-specific compliance frameworks. At Kayrouz & Associates, we advise clients across the real estate lifecycle—developers, investors, brokers, and property managers—on their legal obligations and regulatory exposure.
We assist with obtaining and maintaining approvals from authorities such as the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), and relevant municipal bodies. Our team monitors regulatory changes and ensures that contracts, operations, and reporting mechanisms are legally sound.
We also provide counsel on anti-money laundering (AML) compliance in real estate transactions, advertising regulations for off-plan sales, and the registration of brokerage and management activities. Our goal is to help clients prevent enforcement actions, maintain reputation, and reduce the risk of penalties.
Our lawyers regularly support cross-border clients seeking clarity on freehold rules, escrow law, and investor protection regulations in the UAE and wider Gulf region.
We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:
- Advising on DLD and RERA regulatory compliance
- Support with AML regulations for real estate businesses
- Structuring and registering real estate management entities
- Approvals for off-plan sales, marketing, and advertising
- Review of documentation and developer obligations
- Guidance on licensing for brokers and property managers
