Questions
Frequently asked
ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) operates under English common law rather than UAE civil law, which is a significant draw for financial services, funds and holding companies that want a familiar legal framework.
Abu Dhabi is the UAE's federal capital and its dominant regional energy and capital markets centre, so businesses in those sectors often find stronger sector-specific infrastructure and relationships there than elsewhere in the UAE.
