Mr. Paul George Căta is a Senior Legal Consultant and Partner at Al Safar & Partners, providing comprehensive UAE legal services with a particular focus on clients from Romania and wider Eastern Europe. His multilingual capabilities in Romanian, English, and French make him an essential point of contact for a growing community of Romanian and Eastern European entrepreneurs, professionals, and investors in the UAE.
Mr. Căta’s legal practice covers corporate law, commercial contracts, real estate transactions, and civil disputes under UAE law. He guides clients through company formation — whether in mainland UAE, DIFC, ADGM, or the various free zones — as well as advising on shareholder agreements, commercial leases, property purchases, visa and residency legal matters, and employment contract disputes.
For Romanian and Eastern European businesses seeking to enter the UAE market, Mr. Căta acts as a full-service legal partner: drafting Arabic and English commercial agreements, advising on import/export regulatory requirements, representing clients in contract dispute negotiations, and ensuring that business activities comply with UAE Commercial Companies Law and applicable free zone regulations.
He brings to his clients a civil law academic tradition — aligned with UAE law’s French-inspired civil law foundations — which gives him a natural facility with UAE legal concepts and an ability to explain them clearly to clients from similar civil law backgrounds. His calm, thorough approach and cultural empathy with Eastern European clients have made him a trusted figure in Dubai’s Romanian and Eastern European business community.
