Corporate & Business Lawyers & Legal Advisors In Dubai
Protect Your Business Today with Our Corporate Lawyer in Dubai
— ABOUT THIS PRACTICE
If you are running a business or starting a new one in the UAE, you are dealing with regulations that have changed significantly over the past few years. Laws governing company ownership, tax, and compliance are no longer static. A corporate lawyer from Samira Al Zarooni can help you understand how they are evolving as the UAE updates its legal framework to attract investment and increase transparency.
For example, recent updates to the UAE Commercial Companies Law now allow 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, removing the earlier requirement for an Emirati partner. At the same time, corporate tax has been introduced, requiring businesses to register and comply regardless of whether tax is payable for them.
You need experienced corporate lawyers who understand how these changes affect your business structure, contracts, and daily operations. A commercial lawyer from our firm can help you align all your agreements, filings, and internal processes with current regulations so that your business continues to operate without disruption.
At Samira Al Zarooni, you work with corporate attorneys who review your business from a strong legal and operational perspective. We ensure that your business structure, documentation, and compliance requirements are handled correctly from the outset.

Key Corporate Laws & Regulations in UAE
These laws and regulations play the most important role in your business and we will ensure that your ventures comply with them.
UAE Commercial Companies Law
This law governs how companies are formed, owned, and managed. Recent amendments have introduced flexibility in ownership structures and corporate governance, making it essential to review how your company is set up and documented.
Free Zone Regulatory Regimes
Each free zone has its own rules governing licensing, activities, and compliance. A commercial lawyer from our team ensures that your business operates within the appropriate regulatory framework depending on where it is registered.
Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) Requirements
Businesses must maintain records of their ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) — anybody who holds more than 25% share, voting rights, or other significant way to control the business — and disclose this information to the authorities. If your UBOs change, you are required to notify the authorities within 15 days of the change. This requirement is enforced to improve transparency and prevent misuse of corporate laws.
Corporate Tax & Economic Substance Regulations
Corporate tax now applies at 9% on profits above the threshold of AED 375,000, and most businesses must register to pay tax even if no tax is ultimately payable for them. Economic substance requirements are also now integrated into tax compliance under the Federal Corporate Tax Law, replacing earlier standalone filings.
