The UAE has developed a strong legal framework for protecting intellectual property and resolving commercial brand disputes. This framework is supported by major legislative reforms, including Federal Decree-Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks, supported by the Cabinet Decision No. 57 of 2022 on Executive Regulations of the 2021 law on Trademarks, Federal Decree-Law No. 38 of 2021 on Copyrights and Neighboring Rights, and Federal Decree-Law No. 50 of 2022 on Commercial Transactions. These laws collectively protect registered trademarks, creative brand assets, commercial identity, and fair business practices. They also give brand owners practical remedies for infringement, misuse of branding, counterfeiting, and unfair commercial conduct in the UAE market.

Awatif Mohammed Shoqi Advocates and Legal Consultancy, led by Mrs. Awatif Al Khouri, successfully represented the trademark owner and transferee in a complex trademark licensing dispute before the Dubai Court of First Instance.

The court confirmed that the licensing arrangement did not restrict the transfer of the trademarks, found that the agreed consideration had not been paid, and ordered termination of the licence, payment of outstanding amounts, and removal of the trademarks from licences, signage, and digital advertising channels.

This case highlights the importance of clear trademark licensing arrangements, proper registration, payment obligations, and the enforcement of post-termination rights before the UAE courts.

If you are dealing with a separation or divorce in the UAE, one of the most urgent concerns is often: how long will a child custody case take in Dubai?

This guide breaks down the process step by step, so you understand what to expect and how long each stage may take.

The UAE family law system has evolved from a largely sharia-compliant personal status system to a separate system that also accommodates civil family law options for non-Muslims and expatriate residents.

Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022 on Civil Personal Status, giving non-Muslims an alternative, and Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, repealing Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 and modernizing the UAE’s general personal status regimes. It’s an administrative and strategic decision that aligns domestic legal rules with international standards and ensures the UAE is competitive as a global hub for professionals and families.

After a divorce, one of the most fundamental, but also pressing, questions many parents in the UAE have is: When does the child custody end?

Wrong information is often the cause of the confusion. Earlier laws set different custody ages for boys and girls, but this no longer applies. The UAE has now introduced a clear, unified rule, and the legal position is far more predictable.

Understanding the child custody age in the UAE today requires looking at the updated legal framework and how it is applied in practice.

25/05/2026

The stability of a commercial enterprise in the Middle East rests upon the alignment of its internal stakeholders. When this alignment fractures, a shareholder dispute in the UAE typically manifests as a legal disagreement concerning financial, operational, or strategic decisions that potentially violate the rights of the participants. Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 (the Commercial Companies Law or “CCL”) is the main law that protects these rights in the United Arab Emirates.

These fights aren’t just one-time events; they are the result of a mix of structural problems, changing fiduciary constraints, and the complex ways that human psychology works in the business world. To settle these kinds of problems, one needs to have knowledge about UAE contract law, regional legislative frameworks, and how alternative dispute resolution works.

Disputes can arise in many situations, whether between business partners, landlords and tenants, employers and employees, buyers and sellers, or family members. In the UAE, resolving a dispute does not always mean going straight to court. There are several practical ways to deal with a disagreement, depending on the nature of the issue, the documents available, and the urgency of the matter.

Dispute Resolution Services in the UAE help individuals and businesses to understand their legal position, choose the right forum, and work towards a fair outcome. The right approach may be to negotiate, mediate, arbitrate, file a complaint before the competent authority, or institute proceedings before the court.
