Bracewell’s Chris Williams and Amelia Bowring told Aletihad that new competition rules in the UAE coming online at the end of March are expected to increase legal filings and create more M&A.

“The introduction of the turnover thresholds is a welcome move and an important update to the UAE’s competition framework,” stated Williams and Bowring. “The result will most likely be more filings made with the MoE for UAE-centric transactions, which brings the UAE’s competition landscape into alignment with international practices.”
