On February 27, we held a Grand Legal Review, which concluded with a warm and memorable Iftar attended by professionals and like-minded members of our community.
The main topic of the session was contracts and contract law in the UAE, including contracts relating to real estate transactions.
We discussed why a contract should be carefully reviewed and legally analysed before it is signed, rather than only after a dispute has arisen and the matter has reached the courts.
✔️ During the session, we addressed:
• common contractual pitfalls and potentially problematic provisions;
• governing law, jurisdiction, and arbitration clauses;
• liquidated damages, penalties, and termination provisions;
• the legal significance of correspondence and verbal agreements;
• real-life cases from legal practice where a single contractual provision could have materially affected the outcome for a business.
The evening was not simply a formal legal lecture. It was a professional discussion focused on practical legal issues, with questions, real-life examples, and analysis of actual situations.
It is particularly valuable to us when participants travel from other emirates to attend our legal sessions.
