Overview of Drafting and Vetting Legal Documents

Preparing legal documentation is not an art known to many, especially in the UAE landscape with restrictions and legislation that must be followed at every step of the way.

This includes providing clauses, subject-to-terms provisions, and other components that must be discussed.
