Full legal support retainer
15 hours of lawyer time per monthRunning a business in the UAE means dealing with legal questions regularly — often when decisions need to be made quickly. This service gives you direct on-demand access to experienced UAE lawyers who understand local laws and can guide you before issues escalate. Instead of reacting to problems after they arise, you can consult your assigned lawyer early, assess risks, and make informed business decisions with confidence.
At the start of the subscription, you will have a complimentary onboarding session with your assigned lawyer. This initial session is designed to get acquainted, understand your business, clarify priorities, and agree on how you will communicate and work together going forward.
The onboarding session is intended for orientation and planning purposes and does not include substantive legal work beyond general discussion. This onboarding session is not counted toward your monthly hour allocation and ensures your legal support is aligned with your business from day one.
You are also not locked into one lawyer. If at any point during your subscription you feel that the assigned lawyer is not the right fit for your business, you may request to switch. You can choose another licensed UAE lawyer better aligned with your needs, subject to availability.
This service is suitable for SMEs seeking ongoing legal support related to:
- Commercial and business operations
- Employment and HR matters
- Contracts and agreements
- Compliance and regulatory obligations
- Client, supplier, or partner issues
- General legal risk management
All consultations are confidential and protected by lawyer-client confidentiality.
