Summary

Translated from Arabic into English by Dawoud El-Alami, PhD, & Katherine El-Alami, BA

Introduction by Bryan Cave, LLP

Business Laws of the United Arab Emirates is a looseleaf work published in two volumes which provides first class translations of the main laws, regulations, resolutions and decrees relating to business both of the Federal UAE and the individual emirates. The work was first published in 1981, although the earliest law translated dates back to 1973, and has since been regularly updated, expanded and consolidated. The present volumes were published in 2004 by Brill Academic Publishers, but the publication was acquired in 2008 by Lexgulf Publishers of the UK which is now reinstating a programme of regular updating supplements to bring the work up to date from 2004 to the present. The subscription option therefore comprises Business Laws of the UAE, Volumes 1 & 2, (2004) with updating supplements to be published in alternate months from March 2009. Former subscribers can of course choose just to subscribe to the Updating Supplements.
