Kuwait’s legal and regulatory landscape continues to evolve, with reforms creating new opportunities—and new considerations—for businesses looking to invest or expand in the market.

The Kuwait chapter of Chambers Doing Business In… 2026 provides practical guidance on navigating that landscape and answers some of the most common questions businesses ask before entering the market.

Authored by ASAR lawyers Sam Habbas, Luis Cunha, Hisham Al-Quraan, and Mustafa Sayed, the guide offers a practical overview of the legal framework governing business in Kuwait.

Whether you’re considering entering the Kuwaiti market or expanding an existing business, the guide provides practical answers to questions such as:

• Can foreign investors own a business?
• Which corporate structure is most suitable?
• What employment rules apply?
• How business is taxed?
• What recent legal reforms should investors know about?

Published annually by Chambers and Partners, the Doing Business In… series provides practical insights into legal and regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions, helping businesses make informed decisions when operating internationally.
