Our Credentials
Led by the Man Who Chaired Dubai's Labour Court
UAE labour law is nuanced, constantly evolving, and deeply consequential — for the employee who has lost their livelihood and for the employer whose business depends on the outcome. Getting it wrong is not an option.
Mr. Ahmad served as Chairman of the Labour Court (2008–2009) and as a Labour Court judge before that. He then rose to the Court of Cassation, where he adjudicated labour appeals at the highest level. Our team is led by someone who was the decision-maker in these disputes — not someone who merely read about them.
We represent both employees and employers with equal skill. Understanding both sides of the table makes us better advocates for whichever side we are on.
For Employees & Employers
We represent both sides of employment disputes with equal skill — which means we understand every counter-argument the other party might raise before they raise it.
- ✓ MOHRE expertise
- ✓ Labour Court & beyond
- ✓ Rapid interim relief
- ✓ Bilingual representation
