For employees and employers β full coverage at every stage of the employment relationship, in Arabic, English and Russian.
UAE law prohibits termination without a legitimate, documented reason. If you have been dismissed without sufficient grounds, you are entitled to claim compensation of up to three months' full salary in addition to all other legal entitlements.
β Do not sign any documents at the point of termination β particularly settlement and release forms β without first consulting a specialist. Signing without scrutiny can extinguish your legal rights entirely.
The Wage Protection System (WPS) requires every UAE employer to pay salaries on time through approved channels. Any delay is a direct violation of the law, and you are entitled to file an immediate official complaint. We recover:
End of service gratuity is a statutory right for every employee who completes one continuous year of employment in the UAE. It must be paid within 14 days of the contract ending. We calculate your precise entitlement and pursue your claim β including for DIFC and ADGM employees.
We manage the complete process: preparing your complaint file, submitting to the Ministry, preparing for mediation, and representing you if the case is referred to the Labour Court. Errors at this first stage have a direct impact on the final outcome.
Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 explicitly prohibits discrimination on grounds of gender, nationality, religion, race or disability, as well as sexual harassment, bullying, and psychological violence in the workplace. We handle these sensitive cases with the highest degree of confidentiality.

We prepare UAE-compliant internal policies covering:
We help businesses meet the required Emiratisation quotas, avoid escalating penalties, and implement practical, compliant hiring strategies that work for your sector and size.
A properly documented, legally sound termination is the difference between closing a file cleanly and opening a costly dispute. We handle individual and collective termination strategies and workforce restructuring across all UAE emirates.
These documents, if signed without scrutiny, can extinguish your full legal rights.
