The Investment Framework Agreement serves as the master document governing investment relationships in the UAE context. It is typically used when establishing significant investment arrangements, joint ventures, or strategic partnerships where parties need a comprehensive framework to govern their investment relationship. The agreement must comply with UAE federal laws, including the Commercial Companies Law and Foreign Direct Investment Law, while potentially accommodating free zone regulations if applicable. The document covers essential elements such as investment structure, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and exit mechanisms, providing a foundation for subsequent transaction documents. This agreement is particularly important in the UAE market where foreign investment regulations, local ownership requirements, and specific sector regulations must be carefully considered and addressed.
