The United Arab Emirates (often known as the “UAE”) is made up of seven Emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain. The UAE’s economy has expanded to include trade, business, and finance on a regional and international scale. The UAE has established itself as a significant international hub for, among other things, banking, commerce, manufacturing, and modern logistics thanks to its ideal position. Dubai in particular has emerged as a top commercial location for numerous industries. The country’s economy has been expanding over the past few years, and the success of Dubai’s bid for the 2020 World Expo is expected to help boost foreign direct investment.

The legal framework of the United Arab Emirates is based on both the civil code and Islamic Shari’a law. The UAE federal constitution permits the division of powers between the federal government and the governments of each Emirate. As a result, each Emirate’s local administration is allowed to control local issues that are not covered by federal law. As a result, each Emirate continues to hold major authority over the regulation of business operations, the registration and incorporation of corporate entities, and the issuance of trade licenses insofar as those activities are not covered by federal law.
