On September 22-23, a large-scale UAE Legal Summit organized by UPPERCASE LEGAL, The Paragraph Magazine & Legal Talents took place in Dubai.
The event gathered CEOs, heads of legal functions, and financial directors from Russian and international companies.
The summit was opened by Mr. Abdullah Baker, Regional Director Middle East & Eurasia Chambers of Commerce. He noted that Dubai is a big house open to everyone. "We do not compete with other emirates or GCC countries; instead, we complement each other," Mr. Baker assured the summit's guests.
Alexander Kukuev, Managing Partner of UPPERCASE LEGAL, presented the concept of a global LegalTech project at the summit, which has already received regulatory support. "We have a lot to share. We have gone through a lot and are ready to actively participate in transforming the legal function in MENA countries. We want to be helpful in the region," noted Alexander.
Creativity, proactivity, and effectiveness are qualities that will help lawyers achieve their planned goals, according to Ruslan Ibragimov, Managing Partner of IRS Advisory Group. Ruslan shared best practices for building GR and legal functions.
The brilliant presentations by speakers from leading companies such as Kraft Heinz EAST, Nestle MENA, CooperVision UAE, Coca-Cola, Systeme electric, and others left no one indifferent. A yacht trip on the second day of the summit helped to immerse in the city's atmosphere.
