You don’t have to go to Dubai to appreciate the dynamism of the place. You can get a sense of that by talking to senior UK business lawyers, who are falling over themselves to get a piece of the action.
But it is only by going there that you begin to get a sense of what it is like. For me, that process began on Monday evening last week with the car ride from Dubai International Airport past Dubai City and on to Jumeirah Beach. You can’t even begin to count the number of cranes reaching off into the distance as futuristic buildings – including the needle-like Burj Dubai – appear to be rising up before your eyes.
