    Include one line in your commercial agreement and any dispute is resolved under English common law — regardless of where your counterparty is based. No additional UAE connection required.

    Add this line to your next commercial contract:

    "Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts in Dubai, UAE."
