Dear AHK Members & Friends,
The German Emirati Joint Council for Industry & Commerce (AHK), in cooperation with emltc, is organizing a webinar on the following topic:
Iran Conflict 2026:
Legal Consequences for Investments and Businesses in the UAE
Date: Thursday, 26th March 2026
Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM
Location: Online
The armed conflict that erupted in the Gulf region on 28 February 2026 has created immediate and far-reaching legal challenges for businesses and investors operating in the UAE. Disrupted supply chains, blocked shipping routes, and a rapidly evolving regulatory environment are forcing companies to reassess their contractual positions, project commitments, and employer obligations at short notice. In this webinar, emltc and AHK UAE bring together practical legal expertise to guide businesses through the key issues — from force majeure and hardship under UAE law to FIDIC-based plant construction projects and the latest MoHRE employment directives. Participants will gain actionable guidance on how to protect their legal position, manage risk, and respond effectively to the ongoing crisis.
Agenda
- Welcome by AHK UAE & emltc and overview of the current status of the conflict
- General contract law aspects: force majeure and hardship under UAE law
- Plant construction projects: FIDIC 2017, supply chain disruptions, insurance coverage gaps, and tax permanent establishment risks
- Employment law implications: MoHRE mandate of 1 March 2026, duty of care obligations, and new UAE penalty framework
- Open Q&A
