In addition, in instructing Us to act for You, You agree to execute such further form of novation agreement as we may reasonably require to perfect the release of the partners of Yungo from all of their obligations and liabilities to You under this engagement in consideration for the assumption of those obligations and liabilities by the Yungo Successor in place of the partners of Yungo.

“A healthy body is the source of human happiness”. It’s difficult to find an alternative to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai’s definition of a source of happiness.
As we have come to expect from the UAE Royal Family, these statements are always supported with action. Sports in the UAE is growing at an unprecedented rate. At the last count the total expenditure in the sports market in Dubai alone is estimated at being $1.7billion. With UAE Vision 2021 on the horizon, investment is only increasing and this can be physically seen whether it be on the streets with the popularity of innovative events such as the Dubai Fitness Challenge or in the desert with the ever-more popular ultra-running events such as the BIG Stinker in Ras Al Khaimah.
Sport’s Law Advice: our Sports Lawyers Managerial Approach
The future looks bright but what is a familiar story, technology and social media is changing the face of the sports sector and the law is always playing catch-up. That is why it is important to have the right advice and legal documentation in place to protect your legal rights and ensure any contractual relationship runs smoothly giving you and/or your organisation peace of mind moving forward. At Yungo, we hire the best professionals in the field of sports law advice.
A few of the challenges we are facing are listed below:
Cabinet d’avocats en immobilier
Les activités immobilières constituent l’un des principaux champs d’intervention juridique de Yungo. Notre cabinet s’est forgé, dans ce domaine, une expérience sans équivalent grâce à sa présence sur les marchés italien, britannique et émirien, et les accointances qu’il a su nouer avec les autorités publiques lui valent de pouvoir répondre plus rapidement et plus efficacement à vos besoins. Les juristes de Yungo doivent à leur grande expérience du secteur, à leur sens du conseil et aux solutions qu’ils sont en mesure d’imaginer pour répondre efficacement aux besoins de la clientèle de savoir gérer toutes les facettes de l’immobilier commercial, résidentiel et industriel, ainsi que des opérations de crédit-bail et autres projets agro-industriels.
À la mue que poursuit, aujourd’hui encore, le marché immobilier répond l’approche pluridisciplinaire de Yungo. Face à l’instabilité potentielle de la conjoncture et à ses incertitudes, notre savoir-faire avéré du monde du bâti est, pour une clientèle soucieuse de mener à bien ses opérations immobilières transfrontalières, un gage de clarté et de sécurité.
Yungo, qui accompagne de bout en bout ceux de ses clients qui souhaitent mettre un pied dans le secteur complexe de l’immobilier, peut se targuer de leur apporter une aide précieuse, tant en matière d’investissement que pour ce qui concerne la gestion de biens. Cela se reflète d’ailleurs dans un succès qui ne se dément pas et dans les retours très positifs que nous recevons aussi bien d’entreprises individuelles que de promoteurs, souvent clients depuis plus de 10 ans.
La panoplie de Yungo inclut le conseil stratégique aux entreprises et clients privés de l’immobilier et du BTP, une connaissance sans pareille de ces deux secteurs et une assistance commerciale de pointe sur les opérations les plus ardues, y compris les investissements domestiques et vers l’étranger. Nous accompagnons les projets de construction, les coentreprises et les structures de développement immobilier sur différents niveaux d’élaboration et de planification, et mettons au point des solutions financières sur mesure pour les projets de BTP.
Le catalogue des services proposés par Yungo comprend le conseil en achat et vente de terrains, la prise en charge des procédures translatives, les démarches de cession de propriété, la gestion des biens commerciaux et résidentiels, les litiges entre loueur et locataire, et le renouvèlement des baux.
Constituée de sorte que l’adéquation de ses compétences avec la transaction recherchée par le client soit garantie, notre équipe de haut vol vous donnera entière satisfaction. Ses conseils technico-juridiques à la validité irréfutable et ses solutions commerciales parfaitement viables ne manqueront pas de vous convaincre.
Nos juristes versés dans l’immobilier vous proposent les services suivants :
Les contrats publics, qui représentent une part non négligeable de l’économie mondiale, permettent aux collectivités de solliciter les produits ou services les plus rentables des entreprises du privé. L’éventail des secteurs d’activité bénéficiant de cette dépense publique est, évidemment, extrêmement large puisqu’on y trouve biens ordinaires, grands projets infrastructurels et autres prestations de services innovants. Chacun requiert le concours de juristes chevronnés qui connaissent la réglementation locale, disposent des bons contacts et soient capables de s’y retrouver dans ce qui ressemble souvent à un amphigouri juridique.
Droit des marchés internationaux
Compte tenu de la spécificité des processus d’appels d’offres aux ÉAU, il importe que les entreprises soient conseillées par des professionnels de la loi qui ont l’expérience de cette région du monde.
Chez Yungo, nous facilitons la procédure d’appel d’offres dans son ensemble en résolvant les problèmes ou en minimisant les risques susceptibles de survenir, en faisant bon usage des voies de recours juridiques et en exécutant le contrat conformément aux règles en vigueur. Notre vécu sur le terrain de la loi se conjugue à une approche pratique et à une connaissance approfondie des secteurs dont dépendent nos clients, tels que les transports, le BTP, l’énergie et la défense. Ce ne sont pas de vétilleuses analyses juridiques aussi incompréhensibles pour le commun des mortels que fastidieuses à produire qui vous intéressent, et nous en avons parfaitement conscience. Notre réputation est celle d’un cabinet de conseil rapide et réactif, aux préconisations digestes et à la langue parfaitement intelligible.
Nous travaillons sur un large spectre de projets relevant de l’énergie et des ressources naturelles, des infrastructures et des technologies, mais aussi sur des accords de développement et prestations de services d’infogérance dans différents domaines. À l’heure actuelle, nos clients, de tous horizons, s’en remettent à notre éclairage pour mener à bien des opérations extrêmement complexes en matière d’approvisionnement.
Notre équipe est à même de vous aider sur les questions de propriété intellectuelle, litigieuses ou non.
La protection des créations et innovations étant au cœur de notre métier, nous nous efforçons de faire bénéficier notre clientèle des dernières mises à jour en la matière, des meilleures pratiques, ainsi que de conseils juridiques et commerciaux avertis quant à l’exploitation des droits de PI.
Les inventions nouvelles sont aujourd’hui le moteur de l’économie. Il est donc essentiel que les idées qu’elles recouvrent soient protégées et, partant, que la législation sur la propriété intellectuelle se situe au fondement même du paysage économique mondial. Les lois de PI entendent empêcher qu’une personne physique ou morale ne s’approprie les idées d’autrui et en tire un bénéfice.
The 4th La quatrième révolution industrielle a imprimé à notre société une vitesse de croissance qui ne facilite par l’actualité de la législation vis-à-vis des progrès techniques. Il incombe aux chefs d’entreprise et aux organisations elles-mêmes de se tenir à jour des nouvelles technologies et des risques qui pèsent potentiellement sur ce qu’ils ont de plus cher : leurs idées.
Notre équipe, qui garde en permanence un œil sur les innovations techniques, est astreinte à une formation spécifique lui permettant de suivre la cadence de ces nouveautés et des dangers qu’elles peuvent faire naître.
L’intelligence artificielle, les cryptomonnaies, les chaînes de blocs et leur emploi dans la protection des concepts, les paiements en ligne, les porte-monnaie électroniques, l’Internet des objets, les fournisseurs de contenu en ligne et les influenceurs, mais aussi le mode de régulation de leur travail concomitamment à la garantie de la liberté de parole et de la confidentialité sont quelques-unes des difficultés qui ont surgi dans le sillage des dernières avancées technologiques.
Aux ÉAU
Notre équipe TMT couvre tout le spectre de la propriété intellectuelle, de l’enregistrement des marques de fabrique ou de commerce au droit d’auteur, en passant par les dessins et modèles, la protection des secrets de fabrication et l’activité de conseil réglementaire.
En Europe continentale
Nos spécialistes situés en Italie et en France vous accompagnent sur un large éventail de thèmes liés à la PI, comme :
Des quelque 9,5 millions d’habitants que comptent les Émirats arabes unis, 80 % sont des expatriés, dont environ 70 % de non-musulmans selon les estimations. Les dirigeants du pays étant très chaleureux, ouverts et tolérants par rapport au reste de la région, il n’est pas surprenant que les étrangers soient si nombreux à sauter le pas et à s’y installer.
Il ne faut pas oublier que les ÉAU sont encore un pays islamique et que la loi en vigueur est la charia. S’agissant des questions juridiques d’ordre privé, par exemple, de nombreuses lois sembleront étranges aux individus de culture non-musulmane. Il y a lieu de se souvenir également que les expatriés sont une richesse pour la société et participent à la bonne santé économique et touristique de la région.
Lois sur l’héritage
Bien que le sujet ne soit pas des plus joyeux, on notera que tout non-musulman possédant des biens dans ce pays est tenu de disposer d’un testament rédigé en bonne et due forme. En cas de décès sans dispositions testamentaires, les héritiers ou ayants droit du défunt risquent fort de se retrouver face à une montagne de soucis et de questions sensibles à régler.
Du reste, tout résident est tenu d’avoir un compte bancaire. Si la personne défunte n’a pas rédigé de testament, mais possède un compte en banque et/ou un compte commun avec son ou sa conjointe, ces comptes seront automatiquement gelés. Le gel ne sera levé qu’une fois l’homologation octroyée par un tribunal successoral islamique et l’ensemble des dettes réglées. Les délais que cela peut entraîner ne manqueront pas de vous causer pléthore de tracas pour peu que vous ayez une famille, des enfants et des factures à acquitter tous les mois.
L’administration du patrimoine immobilier en vertu de la charia peut, en outre, réserver à la famille proche du défunt son lot de soucis supplémentaires. La répartition des biens en l’absence de testament suivant la loi islamique est, en effet, très différente de ce qui a cours dans les pays occidentaux. Ainsi, les héritiers mâles et les parents se verront systématiquement léguer une partie plus importante du patrimoine que l’épouse.
Plusieurs méthodes permettent aujourd’hui d’éviter de type d’écueil, et quiconque entend gérer ses biens avec pragmatisme verra dans cet arsenal une nécessité incontournable.
Le droit de la famille couvre tous les aspects de la vie privée : divorce, mariage, violence domestique, garde des enfants, autorité parentale et succession.
Aux ÉAU
La famille est le socle de toute société. Le facteur émotionnel est souvent prégnant dans les affaires de divorce et autres questions liées au droit de la famille. Depuis quelques années, face à l’augmentation du nombre de divorces, les ÉAU ont commencé à élaborer de nouvelles règles en la matière. Le gouvernement émirien reconnaît non seulement la réalité du phénomène, mais son incidence sur les familles et la société dans son ensemble.
En Europe continentale
L’évolution de la notion de cellule familiale parallèlement à celle de la société civile crée, chez les foyers d’un genre nouveau, un besoin de protection dans leur pays de résidence. L’union civile, l’adoption des enfants du conjoint et le mariage entre individus du même sexe sont quelques-unes de nouvelles problématiques que les juristes spécialisés en droit de famille moderne sont tenus de maîtriser parfaitement.
Le divorce, qui gagne également du terrain sur le continent européen, peut être source de difficulté pour les expatriés, notamment lorsqu’il est question de savoir quelle loi s’applique et comment gérer la compétence et les règles de chaque pays. Les efforts consentis par l’UE pour harmoniser les règles applicables entre ses États membres n’ont pas tout résolu.
Notre équipe d’avocats spécialisés en droit de la famille, qui connaît parfaitement les intrications procédant des différentes juridictions, peut se targuer d’avoir une expérience très fournie dans ce domaine.
Pour Yungo, ce champ de compétence réclame connaissances, expérience et empathie. Nous comprenons le besoin qu’a la clientèle de se faire aider alors que ses émotions sont à vif et tenons à adopter, en l’espèce, une approche profondément humaine. Lorsque des mineurs sont concernés, nous faisons passer leur intérêt au premier plan. Cette philosophie appelle aussi à accorder une grande attention à chaque détail et, de ce fait, à proposer un service allant souvent au-delà de la fonction de l’homme de loi.
Rompue à ces thématiques juridiques, notre société a pris part à plusieurs grandes affaires au cours de ses décennies d’activité.
Yungo dispense de nombreux services juridiques, de conseil et d’assistance liés à ses problématiques en Europe continentale et aux Émirats arabes unis.
Nos domaines de compétences sont les suivants :
Le droit du travail a toujours occupé une place prépondérante dans notre activité, que ce soit en Europe continentale ou aux Émirats arabes unis.
Aux ÉAU
L’emploi aux Émirats est régi par un système législatif fédéral exhaustif qui couvre tous les aspects des relations de travail entre employeurs et employés.
Les lois mises en place visent à protéger les droits de l’entreprise, mais aussi à prévenir toute exploitation des salariés.
Selon un récent rapport de l’Insead Business School, de Google et du Centre for EconomicGrowth, les ÉAU attirent une main d’œuvre très qualifiée venue des quatre coins du monde. Plus de 200 nationalités vivent et travaillent, en effet, dans ce pays devenu le creuset de grands talents et de figures de proue de l’innovation.
La première loi sur le travail a été votée aux Émirats en 1980 et amendée par les lois fédérales nos 24 (1981), 15 (1985), 12 (1986) et 8 (loi sur le travail de 2007). Cette législation s’applique dans tous les ÉAU
En Europe continentale
Sur le Vieux Continent, le droit du travail peut varier sensiblement d’un pays à l’autre. Relativement complexe, le cadre juridique déroutera les chefs d’entreprise et les sociétés commerciales dépourvus d’un bon guide.
Les lois sur l’immigration sont strictes, si bien que le système peut être perçu comme conservateur, voire, dans une certaine mesure, protectionniste. Partant, le fait de bénéficier de bons conseils pour se forger une règlementation interne ultra-rigoureuse n’est pas un luxe, mais une nécessité.
Notre équipe de juristes, qui a été amenée à traiter une multitude d’affaires et de litiges d’ordre prud’homal, vous conseillera sur tous les aspects du droit du travail, tels que les relations employé-employeur, la question de la rémunération, les licenciements abusifs, la rédaction des contrats de travail, les licenciements de salariés, le calcul des primes de départ, les conflits de travail et la résolution d’autres litiges.
Parfaitement conscient de l’impact commercial que les problématiques liées au salariat peuvent avoir sur leur business model, Yungo entend proposer aux employeurs des solutions qui ont fait leurs preuves dans un paysage juridique et réglementaire difficile.
Sa réputation, notre cabinet se l’est aussi forgée en apportant aux préoccupations de ses clients des réponses viables et concrètes.
Nos domaines de travail sont les suivants :
Services de conseil en cybersécurité
Selon le directeur du FBI aux États-Unis, « il existe deux types d’entreprise : celles qui ont été piratées et celles qui le seront ». Les entreprises doivent, en effet, savoir que l’on tentera un jour ou l’autre de leur voler des informations et qu’il convient de ne pas attendre qu’il soit trop tard pour limiter les risques de cette violation de leur confidentialité. L’arsenal législatif en Europe, en Asie et au Moyen-Orient connaît à l’heure actuelle de grands bouleversements qui sont appelés à modifier profondément la façon dont les entreprises gèrent leurs données et leur confidentialité. Pour la première fois de l’histoire, les amendes auxquelles vont s’exposer ces sociétés seront significatives et exigeront donc qu’on accorde une attention de chaque instant aux défis que posent les directives et réglementations nouvelles que chaque entreprise va être tenue de respecter.
Loi sur la confidentialité et la protection des données
La dernière disposition en date de ce train de mesures est le règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD), un texte européen protégeant les données des citoyens de l’Union européenne au plan international qui est entré en vigueur de 25 mai 2018. Le RGPD définit un ensemble de critères minimums obligatoires à mettre en œuvre pour protéger les données personnelles numériques, réelles ou en ligne, des internautes de l’UE. Les amendes sanctionnant le non-respect de ce règlement peuvent s’élever à 20 millions d’euros ou 4 % du chiffre d’affaires annuel, le montant le plus élevé étant retenu.
Notre équipe vous propose les services suivants :
Répondre aux exigences de la gouvernance est une démarche essentielle de l’entreprise à l’heure où celle-ci est toujours plus redevable de ses résultats vis-à-vis de l’actionnariat. Le paysage à la fois mouvant et contraignant qui caractérise le monde économique actuel commande de rechercher le conseil juridique par anticipation afin que les questions de gouvernance soient convenablement traitées. Face aux nombreuses problématiques qui naissent des progrès de la législation dans ce domaine, Yungo offre son éclairage aux sociétés des secteurs public et privé.
Grâce à la diversité des clients de notre cabinet et au parcours riche et varié de nos juristes, Yungo est à même de vous proposer un programme de gouvernance et de conformité réglementaire complet et personnalisé.
L’équilibre des intérêts entre actionnaires, dirigeants et pouvoirs publics étant au cœur de la gouvernance d’entreprise, l’équipe de Yungo consacre tous ses efforts à l’identification de solutions innovantes qui seront adaptées à vos besoins, aussi complexes soient-ils. Nos conseils portent sur les implications pratiques du droit des sociétés sur la structure de l’entreprise et ses acteurs. Nous nous attachons notamment à donner des indications claires sur les fonctions de directeur et de directeur non exécutif, ainsi que sur la transparence à laquelle est tenu le conseil d’administration à l’égard de ses actionnaires et sur le versement de dividendes en lien avec les résultats et le capital de l’entreprise.
Qu’ils soient du secteur public ou privé, actifs à l’échelle nationale ou internationale, nos clients nous font confiance en raison de notre mode de représentation, fait de sens pratique et de vigilance, sur toutes les questions de gouvernance, qu’il s’agisse de la composition d’un CA, des conditions à remplir en la matière ou des problèmes de responsabilité et d’assurance qui peuvent se poser à la direction ou à des collaborateurs.
Le droit des sociétés et la réglementation y relative aux Émirats arabes unis sont régis à l’échelon fédéral, mais aussi au niveau de l’État et des zones franches.
Toute entreprise créée ici, aux ÉAU, est également tenue de respecter les règlements et circulaires émis par les différents ministères et organismes de chaque émirat. Les juristes de Yungo jouissent d’une longue expérience en matière de création, de restructuration et de gestion des entreprises, aussi bien en métropole que dans les zones présentant des avantages fiscaux.
Il est important de se tenir informé de tout nouveau règlement ou circulaire car le moment de leur parution n’est pas toujours clair et il est rare que l’on en soit prévenu en amont. Ces textes de loi sont susceptibles de gêner significativement une activité pour peu que (a) l’entreprise ne soit pas au courant et/ou que (b) l’entreprise contrevienne, pour quelque raison que ce soit, à cette législation et/ou ne suive pas la procédure idoine en matière de conformité.
Forts de leur bagage à l’international, nos juristes sont assurément les mieux placés pour vous dispenser les conseils les plus avisés sur tout type de relation commerciale, que ce soit pour une coentreprise, une fusion transfrontalière, un rachat, un franchisage, ou encore un contrat de fourniture ou de distribution. La connaissance du secteur et des difficultés auxquelles nos clients se heurtent au quotidien est un paramètre essentiel de notre succès.
Le système juridique émirien peut sembler abscons par moments mais, comparaison faite, son droit des affaires est infiniment moins compliqué que celui d’autres juridictions. Le gouvernement cherche constamment à améliorer son infrastructure légale afin d’encourager les entreprises étrangères à venir s’y établir et à investir dans son économie. Surtout, son système juridique étant beaucoup plus jeune qu’ailleurs, le législateur est en mesure de modifier rapidement la loi et d’en adapter le contenu pour qu’il soit toujours en phase avec la conjoncture économique.
Yungo propose ses conseils sur les points suivants :
Negli Emirati Arabi Uniti (EAU) la regolamentazione in materia societaria viene amministrata a livello federale, a livello statale e anche a livello delle singole Free Zone.
Vi sono poi i vari regolamenti e le circolari emanati dai ministeri e dalle autorità di ciascun Emirato, ai quali devono attenersi tutte le società costituite negli EAU. Lo studio legale Yungo vanta un’esperienza consolidata in materia di costituzione, riorganizzazione e gestione di impresa, sia nel territorio soggetto alla normativa interna ordinaria sia nelle Free Zone.
È quindi essenziale essere sempre aggiornati riguardoalle nuove norme e circolari. Questi provvedimenti, infatti, spesso mancano di chiarezza e non sempre vengono pubblicati con sufficiente preavviso, comportando quindi potenziali effetti negativi per le aziende che non ne sono al correnteo che non vi si adeguano per qualsiasi motivoo, ancora, che per adeguarvisi seguono una procedura errata.
I nostri professionisti, grazie all’esperienza internazionale, dispongono delle giuste competenze per offrire alla nostra clientela consulenze d’impresa mirate per qualsiasi tipologia di rapporto commerciale, che si tratti di associazioni temporanee di imprese, fusioni e acquisizioni transfrontaliere, contratti di franchising o accordi di fornitura e distribuzione. Conoscere i settori di attività e le sfide quotidiane dei nostri clienti è la chiave del nostro successo.
L’approccio verso l’ordinamento degli Emirati Arabi Uniti può sembrare per certi aspetti scoraggiante rispetto a quello di altre giurisdizioni, ma in realtà il diritto commerciale è molto meno complicato. Il governo emiratino si adopera continuamente per migliorare l’infrastruttura normativa in modo da incoraggiare le società estere a stabilirsi e a investire nell’economia locale. Inoltre, e soprattutto, in questo ordinamento relativamente giovane i legislatori riescono a introdurre emendamenti in modo rapido e lineare, consentendo al sistema normativo di armonizzarsi con gli sviluppi del mercato economico.
Il nostro studio fornisce consulenza sui seguenti argomenti:
Gli appalti pubblici rappresentano una quota consistente dell’economia mondiale. Gli enti pubblici vi ricorrono per ottenere dalle imprese private beni o servizi con il miglior rapporto tra qualità e prezzo. Gli ambiti di applicazione possono essere ovviamente molto diversi, dai prodotti di consumo alle grandi opere infrastrutturali passando per i servizi innovativi. Ognuno di essi richiede la consulenza di avvocati esperti con una conoscenza approfondita delle normative locali, i giusti contatti e la capacità di muoversi nel complesso panorama legale.
Legge sugli appalti internazionali
Data la specificità delle procedure di gara negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, è importante per le imprese affidarsi a professionisti preparati che abbiano maturatoesperienza sul territorio.
Sapremo accompagnarvi lungo tutta la procedura di gara, aiutandovi a gestire ogni aspetto eminimizzando ogni rischio. Avrete a disposizione una consulenza legale a 360° che vi permetterà di dare esecuzione al contratto d’appalto nel rispetto di tutte le norme applicabili. Coniughiamo le competenze legali con un approccio pratico e una profonda conoscenza dei settori in cui operano i nostri clienti, dai trasporti all’edilizia, dall’energia alla difesa. Siamo anche consapevoli che spesso ai clienti non interessano pareritroppodettagliati e pieni di tecnicismi, che richiedono lunghi tempi di redazione. La nostra reputazione internazionale è anche il frutto del nostro impegno per fornire consulenze rapide e trasparenti, attraverso l’uso di un linguaggio chiaro e facilmente comprensibile.
I nostri clienti provengono da tutti i settori e confidano nel nostro aiuto per sviluppare progetti anche molto complessi nel campo degli appalti pubblici e in ambiti anche molto diversi tra loro, come per esempioenergia e risorse naturali, infrastrutture e tecnologie, contratti di sviluppo e appalti per la gestione di servizi industriali.

L’economia moderna è basata sulle nuove invenzioni ed è quindi essenziale proteggere le idee e la creatività. Ne consegue il ruolo da protagonista che oggi il diritto della proprietà intellettuale ha assunto nel contesto economico mondiale, con lo scopo di impedire a chiunque, persona o azienda, di rubare e sfruttare economicamente le idee altrui.
L’accelerazione impressa alla nostra società dalla quarta rivoluzione industriale è tale che il quadro normativo non sempre riesce a stare al passo con il progresso tecnologico. Imprenditori e aziende devono pertanto tenersi sempre aggiornati sulle nuove tecnologie e sui potenziali rischi che incombono sul loro bene più prezioso: le idee innovative.

The protection of creations and innovations is at the core of our practice and we thrive to provide our clients with constant updates, best practices, and sound legal and business advice in the exploitation of their intellectual property rights.
Today’s economy runs on new inventions. It is, therefore, paramount that those ideas shall be protected and, as a consequence, intellectual property law has taken central stage in today’s economic world. Intellectual property laws aim to prevent one person or an organization to steal someone else’s ideas and profit from them.
The 4th Industrial Revolution has brought our society to a speed of growth that not always allows for the law to be up to date with technology advancements. It is up to business owners and organizations to be up to date with new technologies and new potential risks for their most important asset: their unique ideas.
Our team of lawyers constantly monitors technology innovations and avail of special training that allows them to be up to speed with new technologies and the new challenges and risks that these carry with them.
Artificial Intelligence, block-chain, crypto currencies, the use of block-chain in the protection of ideas, online payments, digital wallets, the internet of things, online content providers and influencers and how to regulate their work while at the same time protecting freedom of speech and privacy are some of the new challenges created by recent progresses in technology.

La popolazione degli Emirati Arabi Uniti conta circa 9 milioni e mezzo di individui, 80% dei quali sono lavoratori espatriati. È stato stimato che il 70% della comunità di espatriati è composta da non musulmani. Proprio la lungimirante politica di accoglienza e tolleranza messa in atto negli anni dal governo emiratino è una delle ragioni principali che spingono tante persone a scegliere di vivere negli Emirati.
Bisogna ricordare, e rispettare, che gli Emirati Arabi Uniti sono pur sempre un paese islamico e che la legge in vigoreè la Sharia. In termini di questioni legali personali, ad esempio, ci sono molte leggi che possono sembrare strane a soggetti appartenenti a una cultura diversa. Questa situazione, tuttavia, non può essere sottovalutata visto l’elevato numero di espatriati e il loro contributo all’arricchimento della società e alla prosperità del territorio
Leggi di successione
Un esempio forse poco allegro ma esplicativo è il seguente: un qualsiasi individuo non musulmano che possieda dei beni in questo paese deve avere un testamento opportunamente redatto e registrato negli EAU, perché in caso di decesso senza testamento, gli eredi e/o beneficiari potrebbero ritrovarsi ad affrontare non pochi grattacapi.
Premesso che tutti i residenti negli Emirati devono avere un conto bancario, se il deceduto non ha fatto testamento ma possiede dei conti bancari e/o dei conti cointestati con il coniuge, essi saranno congelati in modo automatico e verranno rimessi a disposizione solo quando sarà stata concessa l’omologa dai tribunali della Sharia e tutti i debiti saranno stati pagati. I ritardi che tutto questo comporta possono essere causa di numerosi problemi, soprattutto in presenza di una famiglia con bambini e di una residenza familiare con spese mensili da affrontare.
Altri inconvenientiper la famiglia del deceduto potrebbero derivare dal fatto che l’asse ereditario vieneamministrato secondo la legge della Sharia, dove la divisione del patrimonio in assenza di testamento è molto diversa rispetto al mondo occidentale: agli eredi maschi e ai genitori spetta automaticamente una quota dell’eredità superiore rispetto a quella del coniuge di sesso femminile.
Le soluzioni per fortuna non mancano e sono a disposizione di chiunque voglia una gestione pragmatica del proprio patrimonio.
The United Arab Emirates have a population of around 9.5 million of which, 80% are expats and it is estimated that approximately 70% of the expats community is made by non-Muslims. The leaders of the United Arab Emirates are extremely welcoming, accepting and forward-thinking in the region so it is no wonder why so many expats have moved and made their homes in the UAE.
It must be remembered and respected that the United Arab Emirates is still an Islamic country and the governing law is Sharia. In terms of Inheritance Rights Of Heirs and personal legal matters for example, there are many laws which will appear strange to non-Muslim cultures. It must also be remembered that expats help enrich society and bring business and tourism to the region.
While it is not the most cheerful of subjects to consider and face, anyone who is not a Muslim with assets situated in this country should as an absolute necessity have an appropriately drafted will registered here. The consequences of passing away without a will can leave the heirs/beneficiaries of the deceased’s estate a multitude of inconvenient issues and problems with which to deal.
As just a simple example, anyone living here must have a bank account. If the deceased has no will but does have bank accounts and/or joint account(s) with a spouse, those bank accounts will all be automatically frozen. Only once probate has been granted in the Sharia courts and all debts have been paid, will those accounts be unfrozen. The delay that this could cause, would undoubtedly lead to a plethora of problems where there is a family involved with children and a household with monthly outgoings to run.
Other unwanted Rights Of Heirs issues affecting the deceased’s immediate family could also arise as a consequence of the estate being administered under Sharia law. Under Sharia law the division of assets where there is no will is very different to that of the western world. Male heirs and parents will be automatically bequeathed a larger share of the estate than a female spouse.
There are various methods now in circulation with which to circumvent such Inheritance Laws issues and such tools should be considered a necessity for anyone wishing to manage his or her assets in a pragmatic manner.
Avvocato di famiglia
Il diritto di famiglia copre tutti gli aspetti della vita delle persone: divorzio, matrimonio, violenza domestica, custodia dei figli, tutela dei minori e successioni.
La pratica negli EAU
La famiglia è il fondamento di ogni società e pertanto, negli ultimi anni, gli EAU hanno iniziato a definire nuove norme in materia di divorzio, poiché il numero di divorzi è in continuo aumento e il governo ha riconosciuto l’entità del fenomeno e il suo impatto sulle famiglie e sulla società in generale.
La pratica nell’Europa continentale
Se l’idea di famiglia è cambiata con l’evolversi della società civile, è cambiata anche la necessità per queste nuove famiglie di essere tutelate nelle rispettive giurisdizioni. Unioni civili, step-child adoption e matrimoni omosessuali sono alcuni dei nuovi aspetti che oggi gli esperti di diritto di famiglia devono conoscere..
I divorzi sono in aumento anche in Europa continentale e per i lavoratori espatriati risulta spesso difficile capire quali sono le leggi applicabili e come occorre muoversi nelle giurisdizioni e tra le regole dei singoli paesi. Tutto questo nonostante gli sforzi fatti dall’UE per armonizzare le normative applicabili tra i suoi stati membri.
Il nostro team di esperti in diritto di famiglia sa come affrontare le problematiche derivanti dalle diverse giurisdizioni e vanta una comprovata esperienza in materia.
Quest’ambito, visto il grosso carico emotivo associato alle vicende familiari, richiede non solo competenza ed esperienza, ma anche empatia. Sappiamo che i nostri clienti hanno bisogno di sostegno in un momento difficile e adottiamo un approccio “umano”. Se sono coinvolti dei minorenni, la tutela dei loro interessi viene per noi al primo posto. È con questa filosofia che valutiamo attentamente ogni aspetto e ogni dettaglio, fornendo un servizio che spesso va oltre quello della pura consulenza legale.
Il nostro studio ha ampia esperienza in questi ambiti giuridici e, in anni di pratica, ha prestato assistenza legale in vari dibattimenti importanti.
Forniamo vari servizi di consulenza e assistenza legale nella più ampia varietà di casi, sia in Europa che negli Emirati Arabi Uniti.
Gli aspetti di cui ci occupiamo comprendono:
At Yungo, our UAE family law practice covers all aspects of personal life: divorce, marriage, domestic violence, child custody, guardianship and inheritance.
UAE Family Law Practice
The family is the basis of every society. Family and divorce law issues are often highly emotionally charged. Particularly in current years, the UAE started working on new regulations on divorce matters since the rate of divorces is ever increasing and the government recognizes the reality of this phenomenon as well as its impact on families and the wider society.
Our team of family lawyers registered with the International Financial Centre Wills Service and Ras Al Khaimah Ruler’s Court are well versed in dealing with the challenges arising out of different jurisdictions and have extensive family law experience.
Continental Europe Practice
As the family concept changes with the development of the civil society, so does the need for these new families to be protected in their jurisdictions. Civil union, step-child adoption and same sex marriage are some of the new issues with which modern family law experts must be familiar.
Divorce is also on the rise in Continental Europe and for expats, can be quite difficult to understand, especially in relation to which law applies and how to deal with each country’s jurisdiction and rules. This is despite the effort of the EU to harmonise the rules applicable between its member states.
Yungo’s philosophy is that it is an area which requires knowledge, experience and empathy. We understand our clients’ need for support during these emotional times and we have a “human” approach when it comes to providing family law advice. When minors are involved, we put the children’s interest first. This philosophy extends to applying careful consideration to every matter and detail – providing a service that can often go beyond that of the lawyer.
Yungo has extensive experience in these areas of law and has provided legal support for various leading cases in its years of practice.
Yungo provides a number of consulting and legal services and assistance with all issues in both continental Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Our practice areas include:
Avvocato specializzato in diritto del lavoro
La nostra pratica nel diritto del lavoro è ben consolidata sia in Europa che negli Emirati Arabi Uniti.
La pratica negli EAU
Negli Emirati il lavoro è regolamentato da un ordinamento generale di leggi federali che governa tutti gli aspetti dei rapporti tra lavoratori e datori di lavoro.
Le leggi sul lavoro sono state introdotte per tutelare i diritti del datore di lavoro e per proteggere i lavoratori dallo sfruttamento.
Stando a un rapporto recente diffuso da Insead Business School, Google e Centro per la Crescita Economica, gli Emirati attraggono manodopera da tutto il mondo: oggi persone di oltre 200 nazionalità diverse vivono e lavorano negli Emirati, rendendo questo Paese un crogiolo di talento e innovazione.
La prima legge sul lavoro è stata introdotta negli Emirati Arabi Uniti nel 1980, modificata dalla Legge Federale n. 24 del 1981, dalla Legge Federale n. 15 del 1985, dalla Legge Federale n. 12 del 1986 e dalla n. 8 del 2007 (Codice del Lavoro), che si applica in tutto il territorio emiratino.
La pratica nell’Europa continentale
Le leggi sul lavoro nell’Europa continentale possono variare in modo consistente da un paese all’altro. Il quadro normativo può essere estremamente complesso e non semplice da affrontare per imprenditori e aziende senza una buona guida.
Le leggi sull’immigrazione sono severe e il sistema si può definire conservatore, sotto certi aspetti persino protezionista. Per chi desidera dotarsi di regole e procedure interne nel pieno rispetto delle normative vigenti, ricevere i suggerimenti giusti non dovrebbe essere considerato un lusso ma una necessità.
Il nostro team di avvocati vanta un’ampia casistica in materia di occupazione e vertenze di lavoro e fornisce consulenze su qualsiasi aspetto come, per esempio, rapporti tra parti sociali, retribuzione, licenziamento senza giusta causa, stesura di contratti di assunzione, licenziamento di personale, calcolo dei trattamenti di fine rapporto, vertenze sindacali e transazioni stragiudiziali.
Siamo pronti a fornire soluzioni alle imprese in un ordinamento normativo e regolamentare complesso, grazie alla nostra profonda conoscenza degli impatti economici che le questioni relative al personale possono avere sul modello di business.
Il nostro studio è noto per saper fornire soluzioni pratiche e valide alle imprese che danno lavoro.

Our Labour Law practice is historically extremely strong both in continental Europe and in the United Arab Emirates.
UAE Practice
Employment in the UAE is regulated by a comprehensive federal law system regulating all aspects of labour relations between employers and employees.
Labour laws were put in place to protect the rights of the employer and to protect the employee from exploitation.
According to a recent report from Insead Business School, Google and the Centre for Economic Growth, the UAE is attracting a highly mobilised workforce from around the globe, with over 200 nationalities living and working in the emirates, it has become a melting pot for leading talents and innovators.
The first labour law was introduced in the United Arab Emirates in 1980 and was amended by Federal Law No. 24 of 1981, Federal Law system No. 15 of 1985, Federal Law No. 12 of 1986 and No 8 of 2007 (Labour Law) which is applicable throughout the UAE.
Continental Europe Practice
Employment laws in continental Europe may vary substantially from country to country. The legal framework can be quite complex, making it difficult for enterprisers and corporations to navigate without the right guidance.
Immigration laws are strict and the system can be considered conservative and to an extent, protectionist. The correct advice in building watertight internal rules and regulations should not be considered a luxury but a necessity.
Our team of Employment Lawyers has been involved in a wide range of labour and employment matters and disputes and provides legal advice on any aspect of employment law, which includes: employer-employee relationships, compensation, unfair dismissal matters, drafting of employment agreements, dismissal of employees, calculation of end of service gratuity labour disputes and alternative dispute resolutions
Yungo aims to provide employers with solutions in complex legal and regulatory systems, with a deep understanding of the commercial impact that employees’ matters may have on their business model.

Servizi di consulenza sulla sicurezza informatica
Secondo il direttore dell’FBI statunitense “esistono due tipi di società: quelle che hanno già subito un attacco informatico e quelle che stanno per subirlo”. Prima o poi, infatti,ogni impresa è destinata a essere vittima di unaviolazione dei propri sistemi informaticio di un tentativo di furto dei propri dati.Partendo da questo presupposto, è quindi opportuno giocare d’anticipo e adottare tutte le misure per minimizzare questo rischio. Il panorama legislativo in Europa, Asia e Medio Oriente sta cambiando in maniera sostanziale e questo avrà un profondo impatto sulla gestione dei dati e sulla tutela della privacy da parte delle imprese. Per la prima volta nella storia, infatti,potranno essere soggette a penali consistenti; pertanto sarà necessaria la massima attenzione verso le nuove direttive e le nuove norme emanate in ogni singolo paese e la loro conseguente applicazione.
Privacy e legge sulla protezione dei dati
Entrato in vigore il 25 maggio 2018, il Regolamento Generale sulla Protezione dei Dati (GDPR) è la più recente di queste normative introdotte appuntoper tutelare i dati di tutti i cittadini a livello comunitario. Il GDPR istituisce una serie di standard minimi obbligatori da adottare per la protezione dei dati personali digitali, reali ed online, per gli utenti di Internet in UE. Le penali in caso di inadempienza possono arrivare a 20 milioni di Euro o 4% del fatturato annuo se superiore.
Il nostro team fornisce i seguenti servizi:
According to the Director of the United States’ FBI: “there are only two type of companies: those who have been hacked and those who will be hacked”. Businesses shall face the fact that someone will try to hack and steal their information and they should plan ahead in order to mitigate the risks involved in such violations of privacy. The legislation landscape in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East is going through tremendous changes that will impact profoundly the way businesses will handle Privacy and Data Protection Policy, data and privacy (GDPR). For the first time in history the fines that those companies will face are significant and require undivided attentions to the new challenges that will be introduced by new directives and new regulations that each of those individual countries will implement.
Between this new set of legislations and regulations, the most recent one is the GDPR the General Data Protection Regulation, a European legislation protecting data of citizens of the European Union internationally, which will come into force on May 25, 2018. The GDPR creates a set of minimum standards required to be implemented for the protection of digital personal data relating to online or reality for EU internet users. The fines for not complying with the legislation are up to 20M Euro or 4% of the annual turnover, whatever is higher.

Corporate laws and regulations in the UAE are administered at a Federal level, state level, as well as at each Free Zone level.
There are also different regulations and circulars issued by the various ministries and authorities in each Emirate which must be implemented by any company incorporated here in the UAE. Yungo and its team of commercial and corporate lawyers in UAE have a vast experience of incorporating, restructuring and managing companies both onshore as well as in free zones.
It is important to remain abreast of any new circular or regulation as it is not always clear nor can there be much fore-warning before being published. They can therefore have a substantial adverse impact on any business if (a) the company has no notice of them and/or (b) the company does not comply for whatever reason and/or follows the wrong procedure for compliance.
Our corporate and commercial lawyers in the United Arab Emirates, with their international backgrounds are best positioned to provide clients with commercially focused advice on all types of commercial relationships, whether it be for joint ventures, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, franchising or supply and distribution agreements. Understanding the industry and the day-to-day issues faced by our clients is critical to the success of our corporate commercial legal advisors.
The legal system in the UAE can seem daunting at times, however, compared to many jurisdictions, corporate commercial law is far less cumbersome. Yungo, as a commercial corporate law consultant, takes note of every change constantly. This is because the government is constantly moving to improve the legal infrastructure in an effort to encourage foreign companies to establish and invest in the economy. Most importantly, because the legal system is comparatively young, the law makers are able to move nimbly and quickly in updating laws allowing the system to run in harmony with economic market movements.
Yungo offers advice on the following:

Malgré la place considérable qu’occupent le gaz et le pétrole dans leur économie, les ÉAU ont pris des engagements sans précédent pour développer le recours aux énergies alternatives. L’État s’attache aujourd’hui à réduire ses émissions de carbone via des opérations d’envergure à Abou Dabi et Dubaï.
L’accent mis par les Émirats sur les énergies renouvelables intervient alors que la demande énergétique du pays augmente en même temps que sa population, que les cours du pétrole ont chuté de moitié en quelques années et que la pression politique internationale en faveur d’une réduction des émissions de CO2 s’exerce sans relâche. Cet appel à la diversification n’est dû qu’en partie à la baisse du prix de l’or noir. De plus, la nécessaire réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, la hausse de la demande mondiale, la sécurité des approvisionnements et le vieillissement des structures d’exploitation énergétiques imposent aux collectivités, comme aux entreprises, de prendre des décisions extrêmement délicates qui auront une incidence, non seulement sur la prospérité économique, mais sur la qualité de l’environnemental à long terme.
À Dubaï, l’objectif ambitieux de la stratégie de l’énergie propre vise à faire passer la part de cette énergie à 75 % de la production totale à l’horizon 2030. Comme nous l’avons vu sur d’autres terrains, les ÉAU n’ont pas peur de s’atteler à des projets ambitieux, voire révolutionnaires, la plupart du temps avec succès.
En faisant le choix de Yungo, vous serez amené à travailler avec des juristes qui connaissent le monde de l’énergie, qui savent où se situent les opportunités dans les secteurs traditionnels comme dans les nouvelles technologies, et qui vous aideront à modeler l’activité qui vous intéresse. En amont comme en aval, de l’exploration au marketing et de la production à la vente, Yungo vous livrera tous les petits secrets qui vous permettront de vous imposer localement et au-delà.
Nos juristes vous dispenseront de précieux conseils pour évoluer au mieux parmi les lois et règlements des Émirats arabes unis et des différentes zones franches. Nos clients sont ici de grandes multinationales, des PME et des investisseurs privés.
Yungo vous offre son aide sur les points suivants :
Le règlement du gouvernement fédéral des ÉAU relatif aux contrats définit les critères à remplir pour les contrats devant être exécutés avec ce même gouvernement. Le ministère des Finances utilise un système d’attribution des marchés sophistiqué qui concerne l’ensemble des ministères et organismes fédéraux. Ce dispositif permet aussi de solliciter les soumissions à appel d’offres et de communiquer le nom de l’entreprise retenue. Il existe, en outre, un système qui qualifie les fournisseurs pouvant prendre part aux appels d’offres et ventes aux enchères, garantit la réussite des achats et favorise la baisse des coûts administratifs et financiers.
Par ailleurs, chaque émirat est susceptible d’appliquer des règles locales en matière d’attribution des marchés. La loi sur les contrats des services gouvernementaux de Dubaï, par exemple, régit les contrats avec le gouvernement dubaïote, tandis que la loi sur les achats réglemente les contrats avec le gouvernement d’Abou Dabi. Des lois semblables sur l’attribution des marchés s’appliquent dans les autres émirats, à savoir Ras Al Khaimah, Oumm al Qaïwaïn, Charjah, Fujairah et Ajman.
Il sera parfois difficile de savoir si une société est publique ou privée, et certaines seront soumises à des règles particulières, par exemple à l’application de la législation en vigueur de la collectivité publique concernée ou à la compétence exclusive d’un tribunal donné.
Une entreprise désireuse de passer un contrat avec les services gouvernementaux des ÉAU ou d’une autre collectivité de la région sera bien avisée de s’assurer que ledit contrat respecte la réglementation locale en matière d’attribution des marchés.
Notre équipe dispense régulièrement ses conseils en matière de contrats avec les collectivités locales dans tous les secteurs de la passation de marchés.
Parfaitement qualifiés, Clotilde Iaia Polak et ses collaborateurs sauront vous apporter toute l’aide nécessaire dans ce domaine, y compris pour la phase de négociation et la rédaction des contrats.

Selon le dernier rapport « Top Hotel Projects » sur la construction hôtelière en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient, le secteur est en plein boum dans les Émirats arabes unis. Il est prévu que 83 nouveaux établissements y ouvrent leurs portes en 2018. En tout, plus de 200 projets hôteliers sont en cours aux ÉAU, dont 164 à Dubaï, 25 à Abou Dabi et 12 à Ras Al Khaimah. Statista prévoit, de son côté, une croissance de l’industrie hôtelière de 5,3 % aux Émirats.
Le changement de politique de délivrance des visas a favorisé l’afflux d’un plus grand nombre de touristes originaires de pays comme la Russie et la Chine. Selon le rapport Collier sur le marché hôtelier des ÉAU, le nombre de Russes de passage a bondi de 100 % en un an dans l’émirat de Dubaï et, bien que l’augmentation de l’offre puisse jouer sur l’affluence moyenne journalière, les nouveaux sites d’intérêt comme le Dubai Safari et le Dubai Frame devraient permettre d’absorber ce surcroît de fréquentation.
S’agissant des émirats du nord, les efforts consentis par les pouvoirs publics et les investissements réalisés dans le secteur de l’hébergement commencent à produire les fruits attendus, si bien que les taux de fréquentation atteignent les objectifs fixés par chaque région. Si Ras Al Khaimah mise sur ses ressources naturelles, l’événementiel et les congrès, Charjah met l’accent sur la culture, la nature et le patrimoine. L’industrie hôtelière connaît aussi une belle progression sur ces marchés. Il faut dire que les ressortissants de pays étrangers y sont de plus en plus nombreux et tendent à rester plus longtemps que les visiteurs autochtones.
À l’exception de Charjah, tous les émirats continuent d’occuper une place de choix dans l’hôtellerie de luxe, la majorité des établissements arborant ici 4 ou 5 étoiles. Les grandes enseignes pénètrent le marché à différents niveaux et dans tous les ÉAU, Ras Al Khaimah s’érigeant en figure de proue de cette percée avec 6 400 clés prévues (soit le double de l’offre actuelle)..
Fort de plus de 15 ans d’expérience dans le monde de l’hôtellerie et des loisirs, le cabinet Yungo a collaboré avec des protagonistes importants de ce secteur, ce qui lui a permis de se forger une connaissance approfondie de chaque émirat et de participer activement à la construction de cette sphère d’activité, mais aussi d’en façonner l’avenir.
On trouve parmi notre clientèle des patrons de grandes enseignes, des franchiseurs et des promoteurs ; des chaînes hôtelières régionales, nationales et internationales ; des appartements en résidence hôtelière ; et des opérateurs de sports et loisirs (parcs d’attractions, centres de remise en forme, spas, centres de loisirs, cinémas, discothèques, etc.).
Nous représentons également les organisateurs et concepteurs des sites de grands événements à caractère sportif et pédagogique, dont ceux des jeux Olympiques d’hiver et d’été.

La Banque mondiale a désigné les Émirats arabes unis, qui constituent une plate-forme logistique de premier plan à l’échelle planétaire, comme meilleur prestataire de services logistiques et commerciaux de la région du Golfe. Il est prévu que le marché du fret y augmente de 4,8 % entre 2017 et 2021.
Les deux principaux aéroports du pays, à savoir les aéroports internationaux de Dubaï et d’Abou Dabi, ont investi dans la modernisation et l’extension de leurs installations ces dernières années ; ils devraient poursuivre cet effort financier pour faire face à la croissance du trafic de marchandises.
En outre, Dubaï a ouvert récemment un troisième aéroport de fret et de passagers, l’aéroport international Al Maktoum (Dubai World Central), au sud de la ville, qui promet de nouveaux débouchés fort intéressants pour les entreprises de logistique. Lorsqu’il sera terminé, il deviendra le plus grand aéroport du monde avec une capacité annuelle dépassant les 160 millions de passagers et les 12 millions de tonnes de fret. Cette plate-forme aéroportuaire est au cœur d’un projet de développement multiphase de grande envergure qui couvre 140 km² et regroupe six zones comprenant la Dubai Logistics City (DLC), la Commercial City, la Residential City, l’Aviation City et la Golf City.
Administré par DP World, le port de Jebel Ali a englouti 1,6 milliard de dollars pour hisser sa capacité totale à 22,1 millions de conteneurs. En parallèle, la compagnie portuaire d’Abou Dabi a prévu d’agrandir le port de Khalifa de 100 km² d’ici à mi-2018 afin de pouvoir accueillir davantage d’industries et de suivre le rythme de croissance du secteur.
Notre collaboration avec des acteurs de la logistique du monde entier a permis à l’équipe d’experts juridiques de Yungo de se forger une parfaite connaissance du secteur.

Selon les chiffres du ministère de l’Économie des ÉAU, les produits manufacturés ont contribué au PIB national à hauteur de 14 % et représentaient 53 % des exportations émiriennes hors pétrole en 2014. Le pays prévoit d’attirer 75 milliards de dollars d’investissements dans son nouveau secteur de la fabrication industrielle d’ici à 2025. Dans son discours inaugural au tout premier Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit, le sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri a également déclaré que les produits manufacturés constitueraient 25 % du PIB de son pays à l’horizon 2025. Cet essor sera soutenu par les initiatives gouvernementales visant à mettre en œuvre une véritable stratégie d’industrialisation.

Nous vous accompagnons dans les domaines suivants :
L’industrie minière est en passe de connaître, dans le monde arabe, un essor sans précédent. Alors que les gouvernements s’attachent à diversifier leur économie, les nouveaux codes et règlements du secteur minier ont ouvert un vaste champ des possibles dans le secteur privé de plusieurs pays qui s’avèrent très séduisants à cet égard.
Depuis 30 ans, le pétrole et la finance mondiale sont les deux moteurs de l’économie des ÉAU qui affichent un PIB par habitant équivalent à celui des grands pays d’Europe occidentale. Le PIB du pays s’élevait ainsi à 407,6 milliards de dollars (estimation) en 2017.
Les Émirats arabes unis pratiquent une politique d’ouverture au plan économique. En 2016, les principales matières exportées étaient l’or (15,8 milliards de dollars), le diamant (12,3 milliards de dollars) et l’aluminium brut (4,22 milliards de dollars). Dans le sens des exportations, on retrouvait l’or (31,9 milliards de dollars) et le diamant (12,5 milliards de dollars), tandis que l’Inde trônait au premier rang des partenaires commerciaux des ÉAU, devant l’Iran et la Suisse (source OEC).
Branche du Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), la bourse Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) est un pôle majeur du commerce mondial de l’or et d’autres matières premières. En 2016, la DGCX a vu se négocier 19,7 millions de contrats d’une valeur totale de 440 milliards de dollars, soit une hausse de 36 % par rapport à 2015 (selon le rapport annuel DMCC 2017).
Conscient de son potentiel dans le combustible minéral, le gouvernement des ÉAU a intensifié ses dépenses sur ce point afin de créer davantage d’emplois, de développer ses infrastructures et d’ouvrir des services d’utilité publique dans le but d’impliquer davantage le secteur privé.
Dernièrement, l’Australie a conclu un accord de coopération nucléaire avec les Émirats arabes unis auxquels elle fournira l’uranium nécessaire à l’exploitation de quatre centrales devant entrer en service d’ici à 2020.
De nombreux minéraux tels que le gypse, le cuivre, ainsi que les pierres et métaux précieux, dont le sel et le marbre, sont en cours d’extraction dans le pays.
Les richesses minérales des ÉAU sont devenues une source de revenu non négligeable pour le trésor public, à telle enseigne que, comme le montrent les résultats récents, le commerce des produits de la mine continue d’imprimer chaque année à l’économie un élan des plus positifs.
Notre équipe spécialisée dans l’exploitation minière, dont les conseils « sur mesure » profitent à des acteurs majeurs du secteur aux Émirats et en Afrique, est reconnue localement comme l’un des meilleurs relais d’information juridique dans cette branche de l’industrie. Yungo est d’ailleurs en mesure de vous faire profiter de son expérience opérationnelle à cet égard dans toutes les grandes régions minières du globe.
Notre objectif : trouver des solutions commerciales adaptées aux investisseurs dans un paysage juridique complexe.
Notre activité de conseil couvre tous les aspects de l’industrie minière et chaque étape des projets envisagés.
Nos domaines de travail sont les suivants :
Le renouvellement de l’offre, l’attractivité des échéanciers de paiement et la récente correction des prix et des valeurs ont donné le sourire aux acquéreurs de biens et aux investisseurs du marché immobilier de Dubaï. Selon les analystes, la plupart des chasseurs de biens sont des accédants pour qui les prix ont leur importance. Parmi les résidents dubaïotes, la tendance est aussi de sauter le pas et d’abandonner sa location pour se payer son propre bien à rembourser ou de se débarrasser de son crédit propriétaire pour s’assumer financièrement. Cela signifie aussi que la plupart le font à titre de placement. Les achats sur plan sont les produits préférés en raison de la compétitivité de leur prix.
Yungo, qui accompagne de bout en bout ceux de ses clients qui souhaitent mettre un pied dans le secteur complexe de l’immobilier, peut se targuer de leur apporter une aide précieuse, tant en matière d’investissement que pour ce qui concerne la gestion de biens. Cela se reflète d’ailleurs dans un succès qui ne se dément pas et dans les retours très positifs que nous recevons aussi bien d’entreprises individuelles que de promoteurs, souvent clients depuis plus de 10 ans.
Yungo, qui connaît le marché local comme personne, se tient constamment informé de l’évolution de la législation et de la conjoncture économique au Moyen-Orient. Notre cabinet est, en outre, très au fait des opportunités et des difficultés qui attendent promoteurs et investisseurs dans la région.
Nous éclairons régulièrement de nos conseils de nombreuses opérations transfrontalières et veillons à ce que notre savoir-faire sur place valorise chaque étape de la transaction tout en assurant la continuité du service à la clientèle.

Nos juristes versés dans l’immobilier vous proposent les services suivants :
Le secteur du commerce de détail est l’un de ceux qui évoluent le plus rapidement, et donc, l’un de ceux qui posent le plus de difficultés aussi. Distributeurs et revendeurs doivent suivre le rythme que leur impose un marché en perpétuelle mutation, à la fois pour ce qui concerne les goûts de la clientèle que pour ce qui a trait à la façon de vendre un produit.
Si le monde de la distribution change en permanence, c’est parce que les consommateurs sont toujours plus exigeants sur le choix et sur la flexibilité qu’ils attendent des commerçants, et que ces derniers sont tenus de s’adapter pour ne pas se laisser dépasser par la concurrence.
La valeur du marché émirien de la vente au détail était estimée à 56,6 milliards de dollars fin 2016, et le chiffre d’affaires du secteur aux ÉAU devrait dépasser les 71 milliards d’ici à 2021.
Aux Émirats arabes unis, où presque deux millions de mètres carrés d’espaces commerciaux sont en cours de construction, l’essor de la vente au détail continue d’afficher un rythme soutenu avec environ un million de mètres carrés de surface commerciale utile à livrer entre 2018 et 2019.
Dubaï mène la danse du haut de ses 717 000 m² supplémentaires de surface de vente dans les cartons, suivi par Abou Dabi et ses 467 000 m² prévus d’ici à fin 2018.
Si la demande est restée stable aux ÉAU en 2017, le secteur a bénéficié de la progression annuelle de 5,8 % des centres commerciaux. Cette tendance s’est trouvée confortée par l’augmentation du nombre de touristes, l’absence de taxe sur les ventes et la multiplication des événements, promotions et festivals commerciaux.
Les plus grands centres d’achats du pays ont connu une hausse régulière du nombre de visiteurs qui peut aussi s’expliquer par l’agrandissement des espaces de vente au détail, de loisirs et de restauration.
Le marché émirien du commerce de détail est largement soutenu par celui de l’hôtellerie. La livraison de plusieurs parcs d’attractions et d’un certain nombre de projets culturels et autres générateurs de demande devraient encore accroître la demande en hébergement et impacter d’autant plus favorablement le secteur commercial. Cette croissance est favorisée par les investissements consentis dans les infrastructures indispensables que sont l’aéroport international de Dubaï – actuellement le plus grand du monde en nombre de passagers – et celui d’Al Maktoum, dont les 160 millions de voyageurs lui permettront de doubler son voisin en tête du classement.
Nos spécialistes en commerce de détail vous dispenseront des conseils viables couvrant tout le spectre juridique qui intéresse les acteurs de ce marché.
Nous faisons régulièrement part de nos connaissances et des écueils rencontrés dans ce domaine avec la clientèle, et nous ne manquons pas de fréquenter, comme experts ou simples participants, les événements dévolus au commerce de détail afin de toujours être à la pointe de l’information. Cela contribue largement aux préconisations personnalisées et de qualité que nous émettons.
Notre avis, notre expérience et notre savoir-faire concourent favorablement à la prise de décision du client.
Nous disposons d’une équipe resserrée de juristes spécialisés dans la vente au détail dont les conseils stratégiques adaptés à chaque projet constitueront une véritable valeur ajoutée pour votre entreprise.
Cette activité de conseil couvre tout l’éventail du commerce de détail aux plans national et international, ainsi que les problématiques juridiques liées au consommateur :
Secondo la Banca Mondiale, gli Emirati Arabi Uniti sono il primo fornitore di servizi di logistica commerciale nella regione del Golfo Persico e uno snodo logistico globale di eccellenza, con una crescita attesa del 4,8% per il comparto del trasporto merci nel periodo 2017-2021.
Negli ultimi anni, i due principali aeroporti degli Emirati Arabi Uniti (gli scali internazionali di Dubai e di Abu Dhabi) hanno fatto notevoli investimenti per migliorare e ampliare le rispettive strutture e si prevede che continueranno a investire per sostenere il previsto aumento del traffico merci.
A Dubai è stato aperto anche un terzo aeroporto dedicato sempre al trasporto di merci e passeggeri, l’aeroporto internazionale Al Maktoum (Dubai World Central) a Dubai South, che offre interessanti opportunità di business per gli operatori della logistica. Una volta ultimato, l’aeroporto diventerà il più grande del mondo, con una capacità di oltre 160 milioni di passeggeri e 12 milioni di tonnellate di merci all’anno. L’aeroporto costituisce il cuore di un progetto più ampio, un’urbanizzazione multifase di 140 chilometri quadrati composta da sei aree agglomerate che comprendono: Dubai Logistics City (DLC), Commercial City, Residential City, Aviation City e Golf City.
Il porto di Jebel Ali, gestito dalla DP World, sta investendo 1 miliardo e 600 milioni di dollari USA per ampliare la capacità portuale totale a 22,1 milioni di container. Allo stesso modo, la Abu Dhabi Ports Company progetta di ampliare il porto di Khalifa di 100 chilometri quadrati entro la metà del 2018 per accogliere più comparti e mantenersi al passo con la crescita nel settore.

Stando ai dati del Ministero dell’Economia degli EAU, la produzione industriale ha contribuito per il 12% al PIL nazionale nel 2014 e ha rappresentato il 53% delle esportazioni non petrolifere del paese. Gli Emirati prevedono di attirare, entro il 2025, 75 miliardi di dollari nel nuovo settore della produzione industriale. Nel discorso inaugurale del primo summit mondiale ‘Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation’, il Sultano Bin Saeed Al Mansouri ha affermato inoltre che il settore manifatturiero rappresenterà il 25% del PIL nazionale entro il 2025. Tale incremento sarà sostenuto da iniziative pubbliche per attuare una strategia di industrializzazione.

Il mondo arabo sta per assistere a uno sviluppo senza precedenti dell’industria estrattiva. Da un lato, i governi mirano a diversificare le rispettive economie, dall’altro l’introduzione di nuove normative in materia ha dato il via a un’ondata di opportunità nel settore privato, in molti paesi interessanti.
Negli ultimi 30 anni il petrolio e la finanza internazionale sono stati il volano dell’economia emiratina, il cui PIL pro-capite è analogo a quello delle principali nazioni dell’Europa occidentale. Il PIL nazionale nel 2017 ammontava secondo le stime a 407,6 miliardi di dollari.
Gli EAU seguono una politica economica di apertura. Nel 2016, le principali esportazioni del paesehanno riguardatol’oro ($15,8 mld), i diamanti ($12,3 mld) e l’alluminio grezzo (4,22mld). Le importazioni principali invece sono state oro ($31,9 mld) e diamanti ($12,5 mld), con l’India come principale partner commerciale, seguita da Iran e Svizzera (fonte OEC).
La borsa oro e merci di Dubai (DGCX), controllata dal Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), è un centro internazionale di scambio di oro ed altre merci di primaria importanza. Nel 2016 sulla DGCX sono stati negoziati 19,7 milioni di contratti per un valore di 440 miliardi di dollari, il 36% in più rispetto al 2015 (secondo il Rapporto Annuale 2017 del DMCC).
Consapevole del potenziale derivante dallo sfruttamento dei propri combustibili minerali, il governo emiratino ha aumentato la spesa nel settore estrattivo per creare più posti di lavoro, potenziare le infrastrutture e aumentare il coinvolgimento da parte del settore privato.
Un recente contratto di collaborazione stipulato con l’Australia prevede la fornitura agli Emirati dell’uranio necessario al funzionamento di quattro centrali nucleari la cui messa in esercizio è prevista entro il 2020.
Attualmente si estraggono diversi minerali negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, tra cui gesso, rame, pietre e metalli preziosi, sale e marmo.
I minerali sono diventati un’importante fonte di reddito per il paese e, secondo gli ultimi risultati economici, il commercio di prodotti minerari continua a mostrare dinamiche positive di anno in anno.
Il nostro studio gode di una eccellente reputazione a livello locale anche grazie alla nostra competenza in questo settore che ci consente di fornire consulenze personalizzate ai principali attori dell’industria estrattiva negli Emirati Arabi Uniti e in Africa, soprattutto per quanto riguarda le transazioni minerarie nelle principali localitàdi estrazione del mondo.
Il nostro obiettivo è trovare soluzioni commerciali per gli investitori in regimi legislativi e regolamentari talvolta anche molto complessi.
Forniamo assistenza su ogni aspetto del settore estrattivo e in tutte le fasi del ciclo di vita dei progetti.
Gli aspetti di cui ci occupiamo sono:
Les Émirats arabes unis, qui ont investi massivement dans les sciences et technologies spatiales en lançant plusieurs satellites en orbite autour de la Terre, prévoient d’envoyer un engin spatial sur Mars d’ici à 2021. Conformément à sa stratégie « Mars 2117 », le pays entend construire la première colonie humaine sur la planète rouge.
L’agence spatiale émirienne a également pour projet de fonder le tout premier centre d’études spatiales du Moyen-Orient via un investissement initial de 100 millions de dirhams des ÉAU.
À l’avant-garde de l’innovation dans les technologies de l’information et de la communication, les Émirats mettent, en outre, à la disposition de leurs citoyens et résidents tous les outils qui sont aujourd’hui des facilitateurs de réussite professionnelle. Fort de ses neuf zones franches dévolues aux médias et à l’informatique, le pays compose la plate-forme idéale pour créer une entreprise dans ces secteurs d’activité ou élargir son horizon.
Le gouvernement émirien a également investi dans les technologies des sciences de la vie, en mettant notamment l’accent sur une impression 3D qui devrait accoucher de quelques avancées médicales spectaculaires.
Les autres secteurs de pointes dignes d’intérêt appelés à connaître des bouleversements et des défis d’envergure dans les années à venir seront ceux de l’intelligence artificielle, de l’Internet des objets et de la technologie SMART. On peut y ajouter les chaînes de blocs, les cryptomonnaies, les moyens de paiement en ligne et le porte-monnaie électronique, la protection des données, ainsi que la réglementation appliquée aux fournisseurs de contenus et aux influenceurs de la publicité comme du journalisme.
Notre clientèle comprend aussi bien des start-ups que des poids lourds locaux et internationaux.

Gli Emirati Arabi Uniti hanno fatto ingenti investimenti nell’ambito delle scienze e tecnologie aerospaziali, lanciando vari satelliti in orbita intorno alla terra, e per il 2021 è previsto l’invio di un veicolo spaziale senza equipaggio su Marte. In linea con la Strategia Marte 2117, il paese sta pianificando la costruzione del primo insediamento umano sulPianeta Rosso.
L’Agenzia Spaziale emiratina intende costituire il primo centro di ricerca aerospaziale del Medio Oriente, con un investimento iniziale di 100 milioni di dirham.
Gli EAU sono inoltre all’avanguardia nell’offerta di tecnologie informatiche e di comunicazione ai propri cittadini e residenti, che ricevono gli strumenti necessari per lavorare con successo. Con nove free zone dedicate al settore dei media e delle tecnologie informatiche, gli Emirati Arabi Uniti sono la piattaforma perfetta per avviare un’impresa nel settore o per allargare i propri orizzonti.
Il governo emiratino ha investito anche nello sviluppo delle tecnologie per le scienze della vita, con particolare attenzione alla stampa 3D che alimenta molte aspettative, soprattutto per quanto riguarda le potenziali ricadute positivein campo medico.
Nei prossimi anni, grandi cambiamenti e grandi sfide sono attesi anche in altri settori della tecnologiacome per esempio, intelligenza artificiale, Internet delle cose e tecnologie SMART, blockchain, criptovalute e relativa regolamentazione, metodi di pagamento online e portafogli digitali, protezione dei dati, regolamentazione del ruolo dei fornitori di contenuti digitali e degli influencer nella pubblicità e nel giornalismo.

Il settore del commercio al dettaglio (retail) è particolarmente dinamico e per questo non facile. Le aziende devono tenere il passo con un mercato che cambia continuamente, sia in termini di gusti della clientela sia nelle modalità di vendita dei prodotti.
Il mondo del commercio è in continua evoluzione. I consumatori esigono sempre maggiori opzioni e flessibilità e chi vende deve adeguarsi per restare competitivo.
Il valore del settore retail negli EAU è stato stimato in 56,6 miliardi di dollari a fine 2016 e il fatturato delle vendite al dettaglio nel paese dovrebbe superare i 71 miliardi di dollari entro il 2021.
Gli EAU hanno quasi due milioni di metri quadri di spazi retail attualmente in costruzioneche saranno presto disponibili per un ulteriore sviluppo del settore: tra il 2018 e il 2019 saranno consegnati circa un milione di metri quadrati lordi di spazi commerciali da locare.
Dubai vedrà sorgere altri 717.000 mq di spazi commerciali, seguita da Abu Dhabi che dovrebbe aumentare gli spazi commerciali di 467.000 mq entro la fine del 2018.
Nel 2017 la domanda nel settore è rimasta stabile, sostenuta da un aumento annuale delle presenze nei centri commerciali pari a 5,8%. Questa tendenza è stata alimentata da un aumento nel numero dei turisti, dall’assenza di imposte di vendita, dall’aumento di eventi commerciali, promozioni e festival dello shopping.
I principali centri commerciali degli EAU hanno visto un aumento stabile del numero di visitatori, dovuto anche all’ampliamento degli spazi e delle offerte di intrattenimento e ristorazione.
Il settore retail negli Emirati è strettamente legato al settore alberghiero. L’apertura di alcuni parchi tematici, unita ad altre iniziative culturali e ad altri generatori di domanda, dovrebbe far salire la richiesta di ricettività, conricadute positive sul mercato retail. Contribuiscono a sostenere queste dinamiche i continui investimenti nelle infrastrutture di sostegno, in particolare l’aeroporto internazionale di Dubai (attualmente il più grande del mondo per traffico passeggeri) e l’aeroporto internazionale Al Maktoum (destinato a diventare il più grande del mondo, con una capacità di oltre 160 milioni di passeggeri).
I nostri esperti del settore forniscono assistenza regolare su tutte le possibili questioni legali di interesse per gli attori del mercato retail.

Maggiore offerta, agevolazioni di pagamento e i recenti adeguamenti di prezzi hanno aperto interessanti opportunità per chi desidera comprare immobili a Dubai, sia per uso abitativo sia come investimento. A detta degli analisti, la maggior parte dei potenziali acquirenti sono utenti finali, quindi particolarmente attenti al prezzo. Si è anche registrata la tendenza, da parte di chi vive a Dubai, a smettere di pagare l’affitto (e i mutui dei locatori) per acquistare invece un immobile di proprietà accendendo un mutuo proprio. Questo significa che si tratta per lo più di acquisti con finanziamento. Gli immobili in costruzione sono il prodotto più ricercato, dati i prezzi competitivi.
I nostri espertioffrono assistenza completa a tutti i clienti che desiderano accedere al complesso settore immobiliare e forniscono un supporto prezioso per entrambi i rami del mercato, quello degli investimenti e quello delle gestioni.

Nonostante il ruolo ovviamente importante del petrolio e del gas per gli Emirati Arabi, il paese ha fatto grandi passi avanti verso l’utilizzo di fonti di energia alternative e sta cercando di abbattere le emissioni di anidride carbonica attraverso importanti iniziative sia ad Abu Dhabi che a Dubai.
L’attenzione del paese nei confronti delle energie rinnovabili arriva in un periodo di aumento della domanda di energia dovuto alla crescita della popolazione nazionale, con i prezzi del petrolio scesi della metà rispetto a solo pochi anni fa, e in presenza di crescenti pressioni internazionali e politiche per la riduzione delle emissioni. Questa spinta verso la diversificazione è dovuta solo in parte al calo del prezzo del petrolio. Anche la necessità di ridurre le emissioni di gas serra, l’incremento della domanda a livello mondiale, la sicurezza degli approvvigionamenti e l’invecchiamento delle risorse energetiche pongono Stati ed aziende del settore, in tutto il mondo, di fronte a decisioni molto complesse,con importanti ricadute economiche e ambientali sul lungo periodo.
Il Governo di Dubai si è posto un obiettivo ambizioso:portare la quota di energia pulita al 75% della produzione energetica totale entro il 2030. Come abbiamo visto in altre circostanze, il governo emiratino non teme i progetti ambiziosi e rivoluzionari e i successi non mancano.
I nostri avvocati conoscono bene il settore energetico, sanno cogliere le opportunità sia per quanto riguarda i settori tradizionali sia le nuove tecnologie, e sono in grado di aiutare le imprese a raggiungere gli obiettivi prefissati.

Despite the obvious important role of oil and gas for the UAE, the country has made groundbreaking commitments to make more use of alternative energy. The UAE is taking steps to reduce carbon emissions through major initiatives in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The UAE’s focus on renewable energy comes at a time of ever increasing demand for energy as its population grows, as oil prices have dropped to half of their value from just a few years ago, and amid increasing global and political pressure to reduce carbon emissions. That drive to diversification is only partly due to falling oil prices. Moreover, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, growing global demand, security of supply and ageing energy assets mean that governments and energy companies globally are faced with some of the most complex and challenging decisions that will have an impact not only on economic prosperity, but also on the long-term health of the environment.
In Dubai, the ambitious target of the clean energy strategy aims to increase the share of clean energy to reach 75 per cent of total energy production by 2030. As we have seen with other projects, the UAE government is not afraid of ambitious and ground-breaking projects and more often than not achieves its goals.

Stando all’ultimo rapporto sull’edilizia alberghiera in Medio Oriente e in Africa pubblicato da Top Hotel Projects, l’industria ricettiva negli Emirati Arabi Uniti è fiorente. Nel 2018 è prevista l’apertura di 83 nuovi hotel. Negli Emirati Arabi Uniti vi sono più di 200 progetti alberghieri di prossima realizzazione, di cui 164 a Dubai, 25 ad Abu Dhabi e 12 a Ras Al Khaimah. Secondo Statista, le stime di crescita dell’industria ricettiva negli EAU sono del 5,3 per cento.
Le novità nelle prassi per il rilascio dei visti hanno facilitato l’accesso negli EAU di un numero maggiore di turisti provenienti da paesi come ad esempio Russia e Cina. In particolare, secondo il Collier’s UAE Hospitality Market Report, i visitatori provenienti dalla Russia hanno fatto registrare un aumento annuale del 100% nell’Emirato di Dubai e, anche se l’aumento dell’offerta potrebbe influire sulle presenze medie giornaliere, nuove attrazioni come il Dubai Safari e la Dubai Frame dovrebbero poter sostenere i maggiori flussi in arrivo previsti.
Per quanto riguarda gli Emirati del nord, l’impegno delle autorità pubbliche e gli investimenti nel settore alberghiero stanno iniziando a dare i risultati sperati, con i tassi dei visitatori in aumento e rispondenti ai target dei singoli Emirati. Ras Al Khaimah punta sulle sue meraviglie naturali, su eventi e conferenze, mentre Sharjah punta su cultura, natura e patrimonio culturale. L’industria ricettiva è in notevole crescita anche in questi mercati e attira sempre più visitatori dall’estero, che tendono ad effettuare permanenze di durata superiore rispetto ai turisti interni.
In tutti gli Emirati, ad eccezione di Sharjah, il paese rimane una destinazione di punta nel segmento del turismo di lusso, visto che la maggior parte degli alberghi appartengono alla categoria 4 e 5 stelle. Marchi famosi stanno entrando nel mercato a vari livelli e in tutti gli Emirati: Ras Al Khaimah guida la classifica con una previsione di 6.400 nuove unità abitative, tra camere e suite, immesse sul mercato (il doppio dell’offerta attuale).
Con più di 15 anni di esperienza nel settore turistico-ricettivo, il nostro studio ha sviluppato una conoscenza approfondita di tutti gli Emirati e, negli anni, ha collaborato con attori e marchi di punta nel settore, contribuendo attivamente al suo sviluppo.
I nostri clienti includonotitolari di marchi, franchisor e costruttori; hotel internazionali e nazionali; residence; operatori di attività ricreative e sportive (parchi a tema e di divertimento, centri sportivi, strutture termali, palestre, complessi ricreativi, cinema, night club).
Rappresentiamo anche gli organizzatori e i realizzatori delle sedi di importanti eventi sportivi e formativi, tra cui le Olimpiadi Invernali e le Olimpiadi.
I nostri servizi comprendono:
Il Regolamento sui Contratti del Governo Federale degli EAU definisce i requisiti per la stipula di contratti con il governo federale emiratino. Il Ministero delle Finanze utilizza un sistema avanzato per la gestione degli acquisti destinati a tutti gli enti pubblici federali, attraverso il quale comunica gli acquistirelativi al Ministero stesso o ad altri ministeri ed enti federali. Lo stesso sistema è usato per pubblicare anche bandi di gara e annunciare le imprese aggiudicatarie. Esiste poi un sistema di gare ed appalti che assicura il successo degli approvvigionamenti e contribuisce ad abbattere i costi finanziari e amministrativi qualificando i fornitori per la partecipazione a gare, licitazioni e appalti.
Inoltre, ogni Emirato deve rispettare le norme locali in materia di acquisti. Ad esempio, la Legge sui Contratti dei Dipartimenti Governativi di Dubai regolamenta i contratti con il governo di Dubai, mentre la Legge sugli Acquisti regolamenta i contratti con il governo di Abu Dhabi. Vi sono analoghe normative locali anche a Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Sharjah, Fujairah e Ajman.
A volte può risultare complicato determinare se un ente è statale o privato e in determinate circostanze alcuni enti sono soggetti a regole specifiche, come l’assoggettamento alla legge del governo locale o la competenza di un tribunale specifico.
Ogni azienda che intenda stipulare contratti con gli enti pubblici negli EAU o nella regione deve ricevere i giusti consigli per assicurarsi che i contratti siano stati stilati in conformità con le regole delle autorità locali.
Il nostro team fornisce regolare consulenza sui contratti con gli enti locali ed è in grado di fornire assistenza in ogni settore degli appalti pubblici.
Clotilde Iaia Polak e il suo team dispongono delle qualifiche necessarie per assistere nella partecipazione a bandi di gara e nella stesura e negoziazione di contratti.

The retail and consumer products sector is one of the most fast-moving, and therefore challenging. Retailers must keep up with an ever-changing marketplace, both in terms of their customers’ tastes and the way in which they sell their products.
The retail world is constantly changing. Consumers are forever demanding more options and greater flexibility and retailers must adapt in order to compete.
The value of the UAE’s retail market was estimated at $56.6 billion at the end of 2016, and the UAE’s retail sales turnover is expected to exceed $71 billion by 2021.
UAE has just under two million square meters of space currently under construction, and the retail sector remains buoyant with approximately one million squares of a gross leasable area set to be handed over between 2018 and 2019.
Dubai will see an additional 717,000sqm of retail space, followed by Abu Dhabi which is set to increase retail spaces by 467,000sqm this year by the end of 2018.
Demand within the UAE’s retail sector remained steady in 2017, supported by a 5.8 percent year-on- year increase in footfall within shopping malls. This trend was supported by a rise in the number of tourists, the absence of sales tax, in addition to the expansion of sales events, promotions and shopping festivals.
The largest shopping malls in the UAE witnessed a steady increase in the number of visitors, which can also be attributed to the expansion of retail space, entertainment, food and beverage offerings.
The United Arab Emirates retail market is strongly supported by the hospitality sector. The delivery of a number of theme park complexes along with other cultural initiatives and other demand generators is expected to drive demand for the hospitality market, which will certainly have effects on the retail market. This is maintained by on-going investment in the supporting infrastructure namely Dubai International Airport (currently the largest in the world in terms of passenger traffic) and Al Maktoum International Airport (which will become the world’s largest airport with a capacity of more than 160 million passengers).
Our retail experts provide industrially stable consultancy over the full scope of lawful issues influencing those participating in the retail market.

New supply, attractive payment plans and the recent price and value correction have opened better deals for both homebuyers and investors in Dubai’s real estate market. Analysts say a majority of house-hunters are end users and are thus very keen on pricing. There is also a trend for those living in Dubai to move from renting and paying their landlord’s mortgages to buying their own property and paying off their own. This also means that most are finance buyers. Off-plan schemes are accordingly the most preferred product, given their competitive price.
Yungo provides comprehensive support to clients looking to enter the elaborate real estate sector and prides itself on its ability to provide invaluable assistance in both the investment and management arenas of the real estate market.

The mining industry in the Arab world is on the precipice of unprecedented development. As governments aim to diversify their economies, new mining codes and regulations have opened up a wave of private sector opportunities across several exciting countries.
For the last 30 years, oil and global finance have been the driving factors of UAE’s economy with its per capita GDP on par with leading West European countries. The GDP of the country was $407.6 billion (estimated) in 2017.
UAE has an open economy policy. In 2016, the top exports of the United Arab Emirates were Gold ($15.8B), Diamonds ($12.3B), and Raw Aluminium (4.22B). Its top imports are Gold ($31.9B) and Diamonds ($12.5B), with India being the UAE’s top trading partner, followed by Iran and Switzerland (source OEC).
Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX), a subsidiary of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), is a leading gold and other commodities trade centre in the world. In 2016, DGCX traded19.7M contracts worth $440B, an increase of 36 percent on 2015 (according to the DMCC 2017 Annual Report).
Realizing its mineral fuel potential, the government of UAE has increased spending in the sector for creating more jobs, expansion of infrastructure and opening up utilities to more involvement from the private sector.
Recently, Australia has struck a nuclear cooperation agreement with UAE to supply uranium for aiding the operations of four nuclear power plants that are expected to be functional by 2020.
Many minerals are currently mined in the United Arab Emirates, such as gypsum, copper, precious stones and metals, including salt and marble.
Minerals of the UAE have become a significant revenue item for the state treasury and, according to recent economic results, the trade of mining products continue to show positive annual dynamics.

The UAE plans to attract $75 billion by 2025 into the country’s new industrial manufacturing sector. In his inaugural address at the world’s first Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit, Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri also said the manufacturing sector will contribute as much as 25 per cent towards the country’s GDP by 2025. This expansion will be backed by government efforts to implement an industrialisation strategy.

The World Bank has positioned the United Arab Emirates as the best performing tradelogistics service provider in the Gulf region and is a world-class global logistics hub. The logistics industry is expected to grow 4.8% between 2017 and 2021.
The United Arab Emirates two leading airports (Dubai and Abu Dhabi International Airports) have been investing in improving and expanding their facilities consistently in the past years and it is expected that they will continue to invest to sustain the expected freight growth.
Dubai has also recently opened a third cargo and passenger airport, the Al Maktoum international Airport (Dubai World Central) at Dubai South with new exciting business opportunities for logistic companies. When completed the airport will become the world’s largest airport with a capacity of more than 160 million passengers and 12 million tons of cargo per annum. The airport forms the heart of a greater project, a 140 square kilometer multiphase development of six clustered zones that includes the Dubai Logistics City (DLC), Commercial City, Residential City, Aviation City and the Golf City.
Jebel Ali Port, managed by DP World, is investing $1.6 billion to increase the port’s total capacity to 22.1 million containers. Similarly, Abu Dhabi Ports Company plans to expand Khalifa Port by 100 square kilometres by mid-2018 to accommodate more industries and keep up with growth in the sector.

According to the latest Middle East and Africa Hotel Construction report issued by Top Hotel Projects, the hospitality and leisure industry in the United Arab Emirates is thriving. It is foreseen that there will be 83 new hotels opening their doors in 2018. The United Arab Emirates has more than 200 hotels project in the pipeline, of which 164 in Dubai, 25 in Abu Dhabi and 12 in Ras Al Khaimah. According to Statista the forecasts for the growth of the hospitality industry in the United Arab Emirates predicts a growth of 5.3 percent.
Changes in visa policies have facilitated the access to the United Arab Emirates of more tourists from countries such as Russia and China. In particular, according to Collier’s UAE Hospitality Market Report, Russia inbound visitation shows a 100% year on year growth in the Emirate of Dubai and, although, the increase offer might affect daily average rates, new attractions such as the Dubai Safari and the Dubai Frame should be able to support the expected inbound growth.
With regards to the Northern Emirates, the efforts of the public authorities and the investments in the hotel sectors are starting to produce the expected results with increasing visitation rates matching the Emirates individual targets. Ras Al Khaimah is focusing on its natural assets along with events and conferences, while Sharjah is focusing on culture, nature and its cultural heritage. The hospitality industry is growing substantially in these markets as well and is attracting more and more inbound visits from outside the United Arab Emirates with a propensity for tourists to stay longer compared to domestic visitors.
In all the Emirates, with the exception of Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates remains strong in the luxury sector with the majority of hotels being 5 and 4 stars. Major brands are entering the market at various levels and in all the Emirates, with Ras Al Khaimah being at the forefront of the push with 6,400 keys expected to entering the market (doubling the current offer).
With more than 15 year experience in the hospitality and leisure market, Yungo’s team of lawyers has developed in depth knowledge of every Emirate and has worked with major players and brands in the sector of leisure and hospitality actively participating in building and shaping the future of the industry.
Our clients include brand owners, franchisors and developers; global, regional and national hotels; serviced apartments; and leisure and sports operators (theme and amusement parks, health and fitness facilities, spas, gyms, leisure complexes, cinemas, nightclubs).
We also represent organizers and developers of venues for major sporting and educational events, including the Winter Olympic Games and the Olympic Games.
Our services include the following:
The UAE Federal Government Contracts Regulation sets out the requirements for contracts to be executed with the UAE federal government. The Ministry of Finance uses an advanced procurement system for all federal entities through which it announces purchases related to Ministry of Finance or other ministries and federal entities. Through this system, it also invites tenders and announces the winners of contracts. In addition, it has a tenders and auctions system that ensures the success of purchases and helps in reducing financial and administrative costs by qualifying suppliers to participate in tenders, auctions and bids.
Each Emirate may also have to abide to local procurement rules. For instance the Law of Contracts of Government Departments in Dubai regulate the contracts with the Dubai government and the Law of Purchases governs contracts with the Abu Dhabi Government. Similar local procurement laws are applicable in other Emirates as well, namely Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Sharjah, Fujairah and Ajman.
In some cases it will be difficult to determine the nature of an entity as governmental or private and, in some instances, certain entities will be subject to specific rules, such as the application of a the governing law of the relevant government entity or the exclusivity of the jurisdiction of a specific Court.
Any businesses looking to contract with government entities in the UAE, or elsewhere in the region, would be well-advised to make sure that their contracts have been considered with local government procurement rules in mind.
Our team regularly advises on local government procurement contracts and can advise in all sectors of government contracting.
Clotilde Iaia Polak and her team are well qualified to provide assistance in government procurement tendering and contract drafting and negotiation.

Despite the obvious important role of oil and gas for the UAE, the country has made groundbreaking commitments to make more use of alternative energy. The UAE is taking steps to reduce carbon emissions through major initiatives in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The UAE’s focus on renewable energy comes at a time of ever increasing demand for energy as its population grows, as oil prices have dropped to half of their value from just a few years ago, and amid increasing global and political pressure to reduce carbon emissions. That drive to diversification is only partly due to falling oil prices. Moreover, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, growing global demand, security of supply and ageing energy assets mean that governments and energy companies globally are faced with some of the most complex and challenging decisions that will have an impact not only on economic prosperity, but also on the long-term health of the environment.
In Dubai, the ambitious target of the clean energy strategy aims to increase the share of clean energy to reach 75 per cent of total energy production by 2030. As we have seen with other projects, the UAE government is not afraid of ambitious and ground-breaking projects and more often than not achieves its goals.
By working with Yungo, clients will work with lawyers who understand the energy industry—who see the opportunities within traditional sectors and within new technologies—and who can help mold the business you want. Upstream or downstream, from exploration to marketing, and from generation to retail, Yungo, can give you the innovative advice and insight you need “glocally”.
Yungo’s lawyers provide a diverse range of experience in advising on and working with the laws and regulations of the United Arab Emirates and the various free zones. Clients range from large multinational corporations to small and medium businesses and investors.
Yungo offers advice on the following:
Corporate laws and regulations in the UAE are administered at a Federal level, state level, as well as at each Free Zone level.
There are also different regulations and circulars issued by the various ministries and authorities in each Emirate which must be implemented by any company incorporated here in the UAE. Yungo and its team of commercial and corporate lawyers in UAE have a vast experience of incorporating, restructuring and managing companies both onshore as well as in free zones.
It is important to remain abreast of any new circular or regulation as it is not always clear nor can there be much fore-warning before being published. They can therefore have a substantial adverse impact on any business if (a) the company has no notice of them and/or (b) the company does not comply for whatever reason and/or follows the wrong procedure for compliance.
Our corporate and commercial lawyers in the United Arab Emirates, with their international backgrounds are best positioned to provide clients with commercially focused advice on all types of commercial relationships, whether it be for joint ventures, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, franchising or supply and distribution agreements. Understanding the industry and the day-to-day issues faced by our clients is critical to the success of our corporate commercial legal advisors.
The legal system in the UAE can seem daunting at times, however, compared to many jurisdictions, corporate commercial law is far less cumbersome. Yungo, as a commercial corporate law consultant, takes note of every change constantly. This is because the government is constantly moving to improve the legal infrastructure in an effort to encourage foreign companies to establish and invest in the economy. Most importantly, because the legal system is comparatively young, the law makers are able to move nimbly and quickly in updating laws allowing the system to run in harmony with economic market movements.
Yungo offers advice on the following:
