The real estate market in Dubai is booming beyond belief, with some investors receiving 30% returns on their investments each year. Recent Dubai regulatory reforms allow foreign investment though investments are subject to multiple, complex and ambiguous laws and regulations and licensing restrictions.
How can legal counsel best advise companies and clients on ways to take advantage of the investment opportunities in Dubai presents while minimizing the legal and business risks, both here and abroad?
Listen as our panel of attorneys explains the current cultural and regulatory environment for real estate investment in Dubai, the legal risks of investing in Dubai real estate, and best practices for mitigating those risks.
The panel included:
Shahram Safai, Partner, Afridi & Angell, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He practices in the areas of real estate, construction, corporate and commercial and banking and financial services law. He is a columnist for Dubai's Property Weekly, a local industry magazine.
Natasha Bowcott, Bin Shabib & Associates, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She specializes in real estate and commercial transactions and previously gained experience as a Commercial Property Solicitor in England.
Elias R. Chedid, Counsel, King & Spalding, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He handles a broad range of corporate and real estate matters. He represents real estate funds, investors and developers with regard to office, residential, hotel and mixed-use properties.
