Dubai Courts Launches First International Hub in London
From business licenses to real estate, the new Dubai Hub London offers one-stop access for investors eyeing the UAE.
Dubai brings its legal game to London — here’s why it matters for global investors.
In a bold move to make legal services more accessible to global investors, Dubai Courts has officially opened its first overseas hub in London.
The new Dubai Hub London is designed to streamline the investment process for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to launch or expand in the UAE.
This international leap marks the first time Dubai Courts has operated outside the UAE, part of a wider push by Dubai Chambers to position Dubai as a top-tier global business capital.
“This is a major step toward making Dubai more accessible to international investors,” said Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers. “The launch reflects our leadership’s vision to position Dubai as a global business capital and underscores our ongoing efforts to support investors abroad.”
So what does the hub actually do?
Quite a lot, actually. Dubai Hub London offers access to services from several major government entities all under one roof. Here’s a taste of what investors can get done without boarding a flight:
- Dubai Courts: Legal docs, contract attestation, signature verification, and case registration
- Dubai Land Department: Real estate valuations, map issuance, and data updates
- Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism: Trade name reservations, business license processing
- General Directorate of Identity & Foreigners Affairs: Residency-related admin support
Plus, it also links up with top Dubai property developers to provide real estate services — a bonus for investors curious about the emirate’s booming property market.
- Services include notary public offerings, legal translation, church contract attestation for non-Muslims, and even attending hearings remotely.
Why London?
As one of the world’s leading financial hubs, London is a strategic choice for Dubai’s first international service center. With its large pool of international investors and global reach, it’s the perfect gateway for those eyeing Dubai’s ever-expanding market.
The hub also builds a stronger bridge between the UAE and UK, promoting investment flows in both directions.
Dubai’s on a roll
Dubai isn’t slowing down anytime soon — it topped the global charts for foreign direct investment for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, according to the Financial Times’ fDi Markets.
And now, with a physical footprint in London, Dubai’s message to global investors is loud and clear: we're closer than ever — legally, logistically, and literally.
