Real estate in the Middle East
The emergence of the real estate market has been one of the most interesting developments in the UAE in recent years. Development companies have not only created stunning commercial and residential developments, but have supported the government’s ground breaking move to allow expatriates to own freehold property in designated areas in the UAE.
The more recent economic circumstances have necessitated innovative approaches to assist investors, and our lawyers have pioneered a number of alternative methods of dealing with real estate brokers, sub-developers and master-developers in the UAE.
Our real estate team has been involved in all aspects of the development and management of the property market in the UAE. We have advised government bodies, sub-developers, master-developers, financiers and purchasers.
