Legal Drafting Services in the UAE

Types of Legal Documents We Draft

Our legal drafting services cover a wide range of commercial and personal documents required by businesses and individuals in the UAE, including commercial contracts, memoranda of understanding, non-disclosure agreements, tenancy and lease agreements, powers of attorney, employment contracts, and settlement agreements. Every document is drafted to reflect the specific commercial or personal circumstances of the client, rather than relying on generic templates that may not hold up under UAE law.

Precise legal drafting matters because ambiguous or poorly worded terms are a common source of disputes. We focus on clear, enforceable language that reflects the parties’ actual intentions, reduces the risk of future disagreement, and stands up to scrutiny if a dispute does arise and the document needs to be relied upon before a court or arbitral tribunal.

Reviewing Documents Drafted by Others

In addition to drafting new documents, our lawyers review contracts and agreements prepared by other parties, whether a counterparty, an overseas head office, or a template sourced online, to identify unfavourable terms, missing protections, or clauses that may not be enforceable under UAE law before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions: Legal Drafting Services

1. What types of documents can you help draft?

We draft commercial contracts, employment agreements, powers of attorney, tenancy agreements, settlement agreements, and a range of other personal and business legal documents.

2. Why shouldn’t I just use an online template?

Generic templates often fail to reflect UAE-specific legal requirements or the actual terms agreed between the parties, which can create ambiguity or unenforceable clauses.

3. Can you review a contract that was drafted by the other party?

Yes, we regularly review contracts prepared by counterparties to identify unfavourable terms or missing protections before our clients sign.

4. How long does it take to draft a commercial contract?

Timelines depend on the complexity of the agreement, but straightforward contracts can often be turned around within a few business days.

5. Do you draft powers of attorney for use in the UAE?

Yes, we draft powers of attorney tailored to the specific authority being granted and the requirements of the relevant UAE authority or notary.

6. Can a poorly drafted contract still be enforced in the UAE?

Enforceability depends on the specific wording and whether the essential terms are clear; poorly drafted contracts carry a higher risk of dispute and unfavourable interpretation.

7. Do you draft employment contracts compliant with UAE Labour Law?

Yes, our employment contracts are drafted to comply with current UAE Labour Law requirements, including gratuity, notice periods, and termination provisions.

8. Can you help draft a settlement agreement to resolve a dispute?

Yes, we draft settlement agreements that clearly document the agreed resolution and protect our client from future claims relating to the same matter.

9. Do you draft tenancy and lease agreements?

Yes, we draft and review residential and commercial tenancy agreements to ensure terms are clear and compliant with applicable UAE rental regulations.

10. What information do you need to start drafting a document?

We typically need an outline of the parties involved, the commercial or personal terms agreed, and any specific concerns or protections you want reflected in the document.

11. Can you draft documents for use outside the UAE?

In many cases yes, though documents intended for use in another jurisdiction may require additional review or coordination with local counsel there.

12. Do you offer ongoing contract support, not just one-off drafting?

Yes, many clients engage us on an ongoing basis to draft and review contracts as new business needs arise.

13. Can legal drafting help prevent future disputes?

Yes, clear and precise drafting is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of disputes arising from ambiguous or incomplete terms.

14. Do you draft non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements?

Yes, we draft NDAs and confidentiality agreements tailored to the specific information and relationship being protected.
