A look at the legal framework of real estate in the UAE and other GCC countries&rdquo;, at the Legal Week Corporate Counsel&nbsp;Forum Middle East held at Mina Al Salam, Madinat Jumeirah on 15 May 2013. Lisa was joined on the panel by Sydene Helwick, Director of Legal at Dubai Properties Group and Alan Robertson, CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle. The session looked at the coverage of property laws and regulations in some of the most active property markets in the region, current investor sentiment as those markets begin to emerge from the financial crisis that has blighted real estate in recent years and the effectiveness of the current legal framework from a developer&rsquo;s perspective. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
