Q: How can I register my labor case with the Abu Dhabi labor court once I am outside the UAE? I already have an MOHRE letter with all details of my claim (some of the details are not correct) like the amount I want to claim. I believe this can be amended once the case is registered in court.

Q: Dear sir/madam, If I have a Dubai labor court case against my company to get my pending dues, can I travel outside the UAE with an expired ID and expired visa? I have overstayed the grace period and my employer did not cancel my labor card and residency visa. The court hearing is going on and I am waiting for final judgment but now I have an emergency in my home country so please let me know the procedure for how I can travel to my country without cancellation.

With over 3,000 licensed advocates and legal consultants in Dubai alone, you have a wealth of choices for legal assistance. But is this too much of a good thing? With so many choices, anyone looking for legal help in the UAE has a few significant hurdles to overcome.

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
