Energy / Oil & Gas

Trusted legal advice for energy, oil and gas in the UAE.

Energy, oil and gas are a highly regulated area of the UAE economy. Regulations relate to concession agreements, contracts and obligations. Businesses operating in the energy, oil and gas sector must be aware of their legal responsibilities. 

Similar to many other areas of the world, the UAE is working towards its own sustainability goals. One element of this means transitioning to more renewable energy sources while maintaining the current success of its energy and oil industries.
