While we can't speak specifically to the UAE, the answer may be highly dependent on the nature of a relationship with a US person working/residing in the UAE, and how any discussions are being conducted. We recommend consulting your fund attorney for advice on your specific situation, in addition to potentially a fund attorney with expertise in the region.
