A clear misrepresentation of UAE’s arbitration laws

"The article claimed that the Decision prohibits anyone who is not on the roll of practicing lawyers to represent a party before an arbitral tribunal in the UAE.

To be on the roll of practicing lawyers, a person must be an Emirati national. The GAR article went on to say that delegates at the fourth Annual GAR Live Dubai expressed dismay at another setback for the UAE as an arbitral hub. Quoting the GAR article; “A new law [was enacted] which permits only Emirati lawyers to act in cases seated in the country”."
