Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
We provide energy services to UAE operators. What should our service contracts address?
Focus on scope, personnel, safety responsibilities, payment, liability and indemnities, insurance and how disputes are resolved. These clauses often carry most of the risk.
We export Norwegian seafood to Dubai. Which agreements matter most?
Distribution or supply terms, quality and cold-chain responsibilities, labelling, payment and what happens to rejected goods are common starting points.
Can I start the conversation from Norway?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Norway or the UAE. Keep it brief and avoid confidential documents until an engagement is agreed. An enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
Do you advise on the law of Norway?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Norway, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
