Employment & Workplace Law

Overview

We advise employers and employees on all aspects of UAE Labour Law, ensuring that workplace relationships are compliant, structured, and productive. In an evolving regulatory environment, we provide the clarity needed to manage the modern workforce.

From drafting executive contracts to managing complex termination disputes, we provide end-to-end support for HR departments and individual professionals. Our advisory ensures that workplace policies are not only compliant with Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) standards but also commercially practical.

Strategic Approach

We take a balanced, pragmatic approach to employment law, recognising the interests of both employers and employees. We focus on preventing disputes through clear, well-drafted documentation and policies, and on resolving disputes efficiently when they arise.

Our team stays current with developments in UAE labour law and Emiratisation requirements. We provide practical advice that reflects the realities of the UAE employment market, taking into account cultural sensitivities and commercial considerations. We are experienced in representing clients before MOHRE and the labour courts.
