These include adhering to anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) obligations, maintaining adequate capital reserves, and ensuring that their operations align with the guidelines set by the Central Bank. Regulatory compliance also involves regular audits, reporting requirements, and implementing robust risk management frameworks to prevent financial crimes and ensure financial stability.
How is corporate finance regulated in the UAE?
Corporate finance in the UAE is governed by a combination of federal laws and regulations issued by the UAE Central Bank, Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and other relevant authorities. These regulations cover aspects such as syndicated loans, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) financing, and debt restructuring. Companies must comply with these regulations to ensure that their financial transactions are legal and that they are properly managing risks associated with corporate finance activities.
What legal options are available for resolving financial disputes in the UAE?

The UAE has established several arbitration centers, such as the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), which specialize in handling complex financial disputes.
