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.

The global expansion of criminal risk for international companies and their executives progresses with lightning speed: some countries are setting even more stringent standards than in the US. Cooperation between international agencies is growing. The EU arrest warrant now allows arrest by foreign prosecutors without the need for a court process and extradition from the US is a real possibility. Given the high financial and reputational damage that criminal liability causes, in–house counsel need to understand the risks that their global companies and executives face.
