Law firm in the UAE for legal advice and representation

Legal services provided by the firm

The scope depends on the subject, jurisdiction and stage of the matter. An engagement may begin with advice or a contract review and may extend to correspondence, settlement, proceedings and representation before the competent authority. Booking a consultation does not automatically mean that representation has been accepted. Representation starts after conflict checks, agreement on scope and fees, receipt of documents and completion of the required authority.

Commercial and company matters

Reviewing commercial contracts, shareholder arrangements, claims, notices, supply and service disputes and debt matters, with attention to governing law, jurisdiction, security and available settlement or litigation routes.

Property and tenancy matters

Reviewing sale, purchase, development, brokerage and lease documents and disputes involving registration, delay, defects, commissions, eviction and monetary claims. See our real estate legal services.

Family matters

Reviewing marriage, divorce, maintenance, custody, contact, estates and wills, taking account of the parties, jurisdiction, documents and applicable law.

Advice, written opinion and representation

  • Consultation: an initial review of facts and documents, options, risks and the next practical step.
  • Written opinion: a more detailed analysis of a defined question within an agreed scope.
  • Representation: taking steps, attending or corresponding on the client’s behalf after conflict checks, engagement terms and authority.

To arrange an initial review, visit the legal consultation page.

How does the firm start work?

  1. Receive a clear chronology and the names of all relevant parties.
  2. Run conflict checks before accepting sensitive details or representation.
  3. Review contracts, correspondence, notices, judgments and deadlines.
  4. Identify the competent authority, limitation issues and practical options.
  5. Confirm scope, fees, expenses and the required authority.
  6. Implement the agreed route and report significant developments.

Documents to prepare

  • Identity documents or company documents and proof of authority.
  • Contracts, amendments, powers of attorney and security.
  • A short chronology with dates, amounts and parties.
  • Correspondence, notices and meeting records.
  • Complaints, claim papers, judgments and enforcement numbers.
  • The desired outcome and any approaching hearing or deadline.

How are legal fees assessed?

Fees depend on the nature, value, complexity and stage of the matter, the number of parties, competent authority, document volume and the need for experts, translation or attendance. The engagement terms should identify the agreed scope, exclusions, payment arrangement and expected disbursements. A dispute cannot be priced accurately from its title alone.

Checking a licensed law firm

The Dubai Legal Affairs Department directory provides information about registered advocates, legal consultants and licensed firms. Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2022 regulates the legal profession and legal consultation profession, and Cabinet Resolution No. 8 of 2025 contains its Executive Regulations.

Law firm questions

Does the firm accept every type of case?

Each matter is reviewed for jurisdiction, available experience, conflicts and deadlines. The firm may accept a defined scope or decline where the conditions for appropriate representation are not met.

Are document copies enough?

Clear copies may be sufficient for an initial review. Originals, certified copies or legal translation may be required for formal action.

Can work begin before a power of attorney is issued?

A consultation or document review may be agreed first. Filing, attendance or representation requires the authority and formalities required by the relevant body.
