About

The Executive Affairs Authority is tasked with providing up to date strategic policy advice to the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. As such, it has a highly important role to play in the prevailing legislative and regulatory environment in Abu Dhabi, with corresponding effects on the business landscape there. Alfrayhat is the chief legal counsel for this pivotal governmental organisation and is therefore one of the most important in-house legal professionals in the UAE in many respects. He has huge experience in the role, having been engaged with the Executive Affairs Authority for many years. In particular, his role in drafting proposals based around regulatory oversight of a number of key markets for the government has been particularly of note.
