Commercial in Fujairah
Commercial activity in Fujairah runs under onshore UAE law, with the Commercial Transactions Law and the Commercial Agencies Law governing contracts, agency and trading, and disputes heard by the UAE Federal Courts. Much of the emirate's commerce revolves around the port: bunkering, oil storage, shipping services and the traders that supply them.
We draft and negotiate supply, distribution, agency and service agreements, including the charter, storage and throughput contracts common around the port, and advise on the protections a registered commercial agency gives a local agent.
