The new Data Protection Law, DIFC No. 5 of 2020 (the "DP Law"), became effective 1 July 2020 and replaces DIFC Law No.1 of 2007. Businesses caught by the legislation have a grace period of three months to bring their organisations into compliance with the new requirements.
The new DP Law has been aligned with data protection regimes elsewhere in the world such as the European GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act. Adoption of international data privacy concepts means we're hopeful that such reform will see other territories recognising the DIFC as providing sufficient regulatory protection to allow data transfers in and out of the DIFC with relative ease.

An overview of the legal issues typically faced by a foreign investor looking to establish and do business in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), with a particular emphasis on the UAE.

As a result of the revenues received from the recent tremendous increases in gas and oil prices, Middle East countries are currently engaging in significant commercial and structural development programs, such as the establishment of stock exchanges, and the development of huge infrastructure projects. Where there are opportunities for commerce, in-house counsel will shortly follow. This means that we must educate ourselves about how government practices and the laws in this increasingly important commercial region will affect our clients’ transactions.

Purchasing international health benefits is an increasingly complex responsibility. Don’t be caught unaware. A wide variety of US laws and regulations (federal and state) and other jurisdictions’ regulations may apply to the coverage that employers purchase for their global employees. Understanding the compliance environment is the first step in developing a strategy to manage and minimize the risks associated with purchasing international benefits.
