In an article for The Oath, Alex Reid (Partner in the Corporate team) and Mo Nawash (associate in the Corporate team) examine the sweeping changes introduced under the revised UAE Commercial Companies Law, marking one of the most significant corporate governance reforms in recent years.

The piece outlines key amendments aimed at enhancing transparency, investor confidence, and alignment with international best practices. It highlights provisions relating to foreign ownership, corporate structuring, and compliance obligations, as well as the introduction of stricter penalties for non-compliance.

The analysis also considers the practical implications for businesses operating in the UAE, including transitional requirements and the anticipated impact on foreign direct investment. These reforms underscore the UAE’s commitment to fostering a competitive and robust business environment.
