Frequently asked questions
A little clarity, before we talk.
Common questions about doing business at the intersection of healthcare, technology and borders.
Ask us a questionAdvises on how a product is set up, licensed, contracted and taken to market, including where healthcare regulation and technology law meet.
That needs a product-specific assessment. A useful starting point is the product’s intended purpose, the claims made about it and whether its function brings it within the medical device rules.
A mainland company can trade in the local UAE market. A free zone company is licensed for its zone, often with foreign ownership and its own rules. The choice follows where the business needs to operate.
Yes. The practice works from Dubai and Bengaluru, and with counsel in other jurisdictions when a matter needs it.
Scoped to the matter. We agree the work before it begins, so the fee follows a defined piece of advice rather than an open clock.
