Maples and Calder was the first offshore law firm to open in Dubai in 2005. Since then, our office has grown in tandem with Dubai itself.  At the heart of economic development in the United Arab Emirates and throughout the region, Dubai offers experienced regulators and a sophisticated business infrastructure. Maples and Calder Dubai is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority and practises Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands law.  It does not practise Dubai law.
