In just a few decades, Dubai has emerged as the pre-eminent centre of trade and commerce in the Middle East. This swift yet sometimes volatile ascendancy is the product of an ambitious growth plan, a stable political environment and investor-friendly regulation. Today, Dubai has become a conduit for the flow of goods, capital and labour between East and West, as well as between fast-growing emerging economies.
To support these developments, the federal and local authorities have actively nurtured the emirate’s civil and commercial dispute resolution capabilities. As such, Dubai has quietly emerged as a global centre of legal excellence, thanks in large part to the operations of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) courts.
