Key Considerations in Drafting Structuring Agreements in the UAE

The following are some of key considerations that should be taken into account when drafting structuring agreements in UAE:

  • Legal Framework: The UAE has a civil law system that is influenced by Islamic law (Sharia) and other sources of law, such as federal laws, local laws, decrees, regulations, and judicial precedents. The UAE also has several free zones that have their own legal and regulatory frameworks, which may differ from the mainland UAE.  Therefore, when drafting structuring agreements in the UAE, it is important to identify and comply with the applicable laws and regulations that govern the project, as well as the jurisdiction and authority of the courts and arbitral tribunals that may resolve any disputes arising from the project. In addition, it is advisable to consult with a qualified legal expert who is familiar with the UAE legal system and the specific sector or industry of the project.
  • Parties and Scope: The parties and the scope of the project should be clearly defined and identified in the structuring agreement. The parties should include their full names, addresses, legal statuses, and authorized representatives. The scope of the project should include the objectives, deliverables, milestones, timelines, and budgets of the project, as well as the roles and responsibilities of each party.  The scope of the project should also specify the exclusivity or non-exclusivity of the relationship, the duration and termination of the agreement, and the renewal and extension options. The parties and the scope of the project should be consistent and coherent throughout the structuring agreement and any related documents.
