Dispute Resolution

On behalf of the client, the company selects the optimal lawyer for the pending dispute and reviews all legal memos and litigation papers before filing them in the relevant courts to ensure that they are correct and consistent with the client’s demands. The company also charts the legal course of the case and determines the elements of strength and weakness contained therein and inform the client with full credibility and transparency before entering into judicial disputes. The company undertakes to exercise due diligence to supervise all litigation procedures on behalf of the client and to follow up the lawyers assigned to the disputes under consideration and provide them with all assistance in protecting the client’s rights.

The legal team of the company has the ability to negotiate and possess the art of persuasion if the client wants to enter into a friendly settlement to avoid the courts and we are ready to hold the necessary meetings with other parties to reach the results that satisfy the client.

Employment & labour

We understand the rights that every employer and employee have in UAE. Our experienced employment and labour specialists work with clients from a wide range of sectors to address issues locally and internationally. Labour law rules are primarily developed to keep workers safe and ensure they are treated fairly while serving employers’ interests as well. In every country, there is a different set of laws or rules that govern this area. There are standards that should be followed by businesses when they decide to employ people in their companies. There are conditions on how, when and where these employees should do their job. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), people usually refer to it as labour law instead of employment law.

Once an employer hires an employee, there is a contract between an employer and employee based on the law of contract. Only some terms of the contract of employment are required by law to be in writing. A written contract creates certainty and clarifies expectations if you have the terms and conditions of the employment set forth in a written agreement. Having a written contract of employment avoids potential confusion and disagreement about what terms and conditions of employment were agreed. Providing your employees with a written contract of employment also deter the employee from making inappropriate claims.

Types of Contracts in Labour

There are two types of contracts that can bind two parties (employee-employer contract) and different stipulations in the labour law apply to different situations that these parties involve themselves into. The way that labour lawyers in UAE can help you will be based on the laws and the decision of the courts as well depend solely on the stipulations that are stated and laid out in the  UAE Labour Law.

1. Unlimited Contract
Just like the limited contract, the commencement is stated on this but not the completion date. There can be different reasons that this open contract can be terminated under the UAE Labour Law, like a mutual agreement between parties to terminate a contract with a 30-day notice of termination given. An extension of this notice of termination exceeding
30 days can happen with different conditions.

2. Limited Contract
As what its name suggests, it is a fixed-term contract that usually lasts for two or three years, depending on the jurisdiction or authority. The commencement and completion date of the contract is usually connected to the person’s UAE residency visa’s duration as well. When this contract reaches its completion date, it’s usually automatically terminated
unless it’s renewed by both parties on an earlier date.

As we know that nothing is safe from disputes whether it is an interest or a commodity. The Same phenomenon happens with Property and Land too. It might be an apartment, building, home, suites, and land of both types, commercial and residential. The creditor has to receive money while the debtor is not willing to pay, or has fled. Selling or buying is not done properly by revealing all the details of property or someone has breached the tenancy contract clauses, all these matters come under property disputes.
