Middle East Links – June 2025

Welcome to our Middle East Links newsletter, where you will find updates and insights on developments in the United Arab Emirates, including the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Welcome to our June 2025 issue of Middle East Links. Over the last few months, we have been talking to our clients about new laws and regulations affecting their businesses and changes on the horizon. Rules on public offers in the DIFC and the scope of the DFSA’s regulatory reach are changing, and virtual assets frameworks in the UAE and the ADGM are continuing to evolve, reflecting the fast-paced nature of this innovative sector. Our colleagues in Riyadh are advising on the impact of the new Investment Law, which has now been supplemented by detailed regulations, and changes for CMA-regulated entities.

Please contact a member of our Middle East team if you would like to discuss these developments with us.
