UAE Contracts

How we view and treat your confidential information

UAE Contracts acknowledges the commercial sensitivity of the information disclosed to it and undertakes to keep confidential any information which it obtains from the Client, not to disclose such information to any other person and not to use such information other than for the purpose of providing contractual advice. Exceptions are as follows:

(a) if required by law; or
(b) (b) if required by a competent regulatory authority or recognised stock exchange having jurisdiction; or
(c) that such information is already in the public domain other than via UAE Contracts,
provided that UAE Contracts will disclose as above after notification to the Client if such notification is practicable in the circumstances.

UAE Contracts may disclose the information to its employees who have a need to know the information in connection with the purpose of providing contractual advice. If the information needs to be released to subsidiaries or companies with which UAE Contracts has a commercial alliance arrangement, Client will be requested to pre-approve such release in writing.

UAE Contracts will, on receipt of a request from the Client to do so, immediately return to the Client all copies and analyses of the information which it may have in its possession, or (if instructed to do so by the Client) destroy the same.

If you have any doubts, just raise them and we will advise

If the matter you need advice on is so sensitive you prefer to not share, we can provide you with a formal confidentiality agreement, or we can enter into your form of agreement if you have one. Please be aware that we are quite focused on the detail, so don’t be surprised if we spend a little time negotiating terms. It is why you came to us in the first place!

If you are so worried that you simply want to keep the information secret, even from us, we can work by example and hypothetical scenario. Obviously there is a chance of something being missed in translation as the person from your team giving the examples may not have our experience, indeed, if the person giving the examples had our experience, you might not be talking to us.
