The GCC is an economic and political alliance created between the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. Although security and strategic issues were the driving force behind the initiative, the Charter largely focuses on economic and cultural cooperation. Indeed, the goal of the GCC is to promote unity across Member States. With a million square miles, 54 million people and a total of $3.464 trillion GDP, the GCC is a very interesting market for investors. The best vehicle to invest is mergers and acquisitions, which are transactions well-known as an integration tool.

Although the UAE has had anti-bribery legislation in place since the late 1980s in the form of the UAE Federal Penal Code (the “Code”), the UAE business community has, to a large extent, been unaware of its existence and how its provisions could impact their business operations locally. As a consequence of the global economic crisis, there has been a marked rise in prosecution of individuals suspected of corrupt practices, as UAE authorities seek to enforce this law in order to curb such practices. These cases have highlighted the importance of being aware of the provisions of the Code and its implication for businesses in the UAE. Join LexisNexis Middle East, DIFC Academy and Afridi & Angell for an online training session where our expert will fill you in on Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Laws in the UAE.

استكشف قانون التحكيم في دولة الكويت مع “ليكسس نيكسس الشرق الأوسط” ومجموعة الياقوت والفوزان القانونية. Arbitration law in Kuwait was first introduced in 1959. Since then, it has only been updated once when commercial arbitration laws were codified in 1995. To put things into perspective, it has been decades since the last time Kuwait looked at its Arbitration regime, implying the slow development in this area compared to its neighbouring gulf states. So, the question arises: How effective is Arbitration in Kuwait as a dispute resolution method? Explore Kuwait’s Arbitration Law with LexisNexis Middle East and Al-Yaqout & Al-Fouzan Legal Group in an online training session!
