Our law firm is an important ally for both employees and employers.
Foreign companies operating in the United Arab Emirates may make errors due to a lack of knowledge of local law, potentially leading to disputes and litigation.
To prevent and address any future issues, consult experts in employment law when signing or amending an employment contract, before dismissing an employee, or before submitting your resignation.
Our employment law support
Drafting and adaptation of contracts
Our firm assists you in drafting employment contracts so that the numerous obligations of both the employee and the business owner are clearly set out in compliance with the laws in force in the United Arab Emirates.
This is particularly important for contracts involving executives and company directors, which require contractual clauses tailored to their specific circumstances compared with the standard contracts offered by the Ministry of Labour or the various free zones.
Performance of the employment contract
Our specialized lawyers advise you throughout the performance of the contract: implementing disciplinary procedures, addressing salary issues and overtime, calculating paid leave or end-of-service benefits.
Employment law in the United Arab Emirates has specific requirements that every company hiring staff locally must comply with.
Contract termination
In the event of termination, the procedures may vary depending on whether the contract is fixed-term or open-ended.
Consulting a lawyer helps avoid mistakes and determine the most appropriate method of termination: dismissal, particularly for incapacity or serious misconduct, mutual termination, or resignation due to serious misconduct by the employer.
In the event of a dispute
In the event of a dispute, our law firm will put you in touch with a local law firm that will represent and defend your interests before mediation or judicial authorities.
