Brief Descriptions of Our Commerical Law Services

At Davidson & Co, our commercial legal services are provided by seasoned practitioners working in the UAE commercial and regulatory landscape, and they address six principal areas that are central to business success and legal compliance.

Contract Drafting and Negotiation

We specialize in preparing, reviewing, and negotiating diverse commercial contracts such as sales contracts, service contracts, leasing contracts, partnership contracts, and others. Our concentration is on safeguarding our clients’ interests while promoting successful business relationships. All contracts are prepared in accordance with the UAE Civil Transactions Law. We also integrate force majeure, arbitration clauses, and jurisdiction selections to prevent future litigation.

Regulatory Compliance

Our lawyers guide clients through all applicable laws and regulations impacting commercial activity, enabling businesses to navigate the constantly evolving legal framework and steer clear of potential legal pitfalls. This involves guidance under the UAE Commercial Companies Law and the governing free zone law. We also assist with compliance audits and represent clients before local authorities such as DED, DMCC, and other regulatory entities.

Dispute Resolution

We represent clients in commercial disputes, offering strategic advice and advocacy in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively, minimising disruption to our clients’ businesses. Our commercial litigation attorneys frequently act in matters before UAE courts and arbitration centres, such as DIAC, under Federal Law on Arbitration. We formulate robust case strategies with enforceability across UAE courts and international arbitration forums.

Corporate Governance and Compliance

We offer advisory services on corporate governance standards and compliance matters to ensure that companies are ethical and run as stipulated by the law, thus protecting their reputation and operational success. Our services extend to drafting shareholder agreements, board resolutions, and conflict of interest frameworks.

Intellectual Property Protection

Recognizing the importance of intellectual property to commercial activities, we help clients secure and enforce their IP rights, such as trademarks, copyrights, and patents, to protect their assets and competitive advantage further. For them, we handle filings with the UAE Ministry of Economy under Federal Law on Trademarks. We additionally represent clients in trademark oppositions, licensing negotiations, and IP dispute settlements.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Our lawyers counsel on mergers and acquisitions across the board, from due diligence and structuring to negotiation and closure, facilitating smooth transactions that reflect our clients’ strategic objectives. We confirm all share or asset sales to comply with the UAE Commercial Companies Law as well as applicable DED approvals. We also handle cross-jurisdictional filings, antitrust reviews, and shareholder consent requirements.
