The applicable law on the international freelancing agreements : an analytical study on the UAE

Abstract EN

Freelancing agreements are no longer limited and locked at the local level ; freelancing agreements can even be negotiated, internationally.

there is no doubt that the internet has facilitated and provided a suitable environment for freelancers and clients to coalesce and sign agreements remotely.

such relationships on an international basis, whether between nationals or residents, calls for an applicable law to govern their agreement, and this matter becomes more insistent when disputes that may result from the agreement need.

the paper is concerned with presenting and analyzing the legal provisions in the UAE that resolve the issue of applicable law on the international freelancing agreements.

meanwhile, whenever it seems useful, comparative law will also be brought.
