How we work

Professional indemnity insurance for a UAE regulated firm is set by its regulator, not a single rule. This article covers the DFSA conduct requirement in the DIFC, the FSRA minimum standards from January 2026, mainland insurance firms under the new CBUAE Law, and the mandatory medical malpractice cover that healthcare providers need instead of generic PII.

DFSA investigations start from a supervisory referral, a complaint, an AML failure, or a request from another regulator. This article sets out what triggers enforcement, the DFSA's powers under the Regulatory Law 2004, the firm's duty to cooperate, and how to respond from the first notice through to the Financial Markets Tribunal.

Foreign fund promotion in the UAE is tightly regulated. This guide explains when offshore managers can approach UAE investors, how the SCA, DFSA and FSRA regimes differ, and why decks, calls and term sheets can trigger the marketing rules before subscription.
