Jasmin Fichte March 11, 2026 In light of recent developments being reported across the region, we would like to briefly confirm that Dubai and the United Arab Emirates remain fully operational, with business activities continuing as normal. All UAE courts, government authorities and regulatory bodies are open and operating, and legal proceedings and commercial activities continue without interruption. At Fichte & Co, our operations remain fully active. Our Dubai office continues to support clients across all practice areas, and our Saudi Arabia office in Al Khobar is likewise fully operational, assisting clients throughout the Kingdom. As a locally established Dubai law firm — not a branch office of an overseas practice — we maintain a direct and practical understanding of developments on the ground. Our team remains closely connected to the regional business environment, enabling us to provide clear, commercially focused advice based on real-time developments. Our lawyers continue to monitor the situation and remain available to advise clients on any legal, regulatory or commercial considerations affecting their operations in the UAE or the wider Middle East. Our Ramadan Working Hours: Monday to Friday, from 08:00 am to 3:00pm Eid Al Fitr: Our offices are expected to be closed from 19th March – 22nd March in observance of the Eid Al Fitr holiday. Should you wish to discuss any matter, please feel free to reach out to our team. Fichte & Co Legal Consultancy
