Lack of regulation leads to a free-for-all in legal practices - The National

For international law firms, setting up a practice abroad usually requires jumping through a number of regulatory hoops. But in the UAE, it can be as simple as just choosing where to set up shop.

This country is one of the few legal markets lacking any real regulations on international legal practices. It is also one of the few environments where a legal practice, at least for lawyers who do not litigate, operates under very few restrictions.

The legal profession has, until now, been as liberal as could be, but there are questions as to whether that needs to change.
