Step-by-step: how the scheduling process works

1. Initial enquiry: contact AL SAHRAA by email, phone, or web form with a brief description of your matter (commercial, employment, real estate, family, immigration, dispute, etc.). 2. Case triage: we review the enquiry and recommend an appropriately licensed lawyer or law firm experienced in the relevant area of UAE law. 3. Appointment proposal: we propose dates/times and the consultation format (in-person at a law office, remote video call, or phone). 4. Confirmation and instructions: once you confirm, we send the appointment details and a checklist of documents to bring. 5. Consultation: meet the lawyer for the agreed duration. After the meeting, the lawyer will usually outline recommended next steps and any documents or forms needed.

Documents to prepare (typical)

Bring or provide copies of any documents relevant to your issue. Common items include:

Passport copy and UAE residency visa or Emirates ID

Commercial documents: trade license, company MOA/AOA, shareholder register

Employment documents: contract, salary slips, termination letters, offer letters

Real estate: title deed, tenancy contract, sale agreements, title documents

Correspondence: emails, letters, notices related to the dispute

Court or tribunal papers, if already filed

If you are unsure which documents are necessary, AL SAHRAA will advise during the booking phase.

What to expect during the consultation

The lawyer will review the facts, applicable UAE law, and any documents you provide.

You’ll receive an assessment of legal options, likely risks, and recommended next steps.

The lawyer may propose further services (drafting letters, filing claims, negotiating, preparing pleadings) and explain fee structure and timelines.

Confidentiality: licensed lawyers in the UAE are bound by professional confidentiality and ethical rules.

Fees and timing

Consultation fees vary by lawyer and complexity; AL SAHRAA will confirm the fee before booking. We do not provide fixed prices here, but we can obtain fee quotes for you.

Appointments are typically available within a few days for non-urgent matters; urgent slots can sometimes be arranged.

Remote vs in-person consultations

Remote (video or phone) consultations are common and effective for initial advice and document review.

In-person meetings can be helpful for complex matters requiring signed documents, notarisation, or detailed review.

AL SAHRAA can arrange either format and help with translating or notarising documents if needed.

After the consultation: practical next steps

Confirm engagement: sign an engagement letter or retainer agreement if you proceed with the lawyer’s services.

Provide any further documents requested and clear instructions on the scope of work.

Agree milestones and payment terms before substantive legal work begins.

If needed, AL SAHRAA can coordinate follow-up meetings, document submissions, translations, notarisation, and liaison with courts or authorities.

FAQ

How long is a typical consultation?

Consultations commonly range from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on complexity. The length will be clarified at booking.

Can I book a consultation in English or Arabic?

Yes. Many UAE lawyers work in English and Arabic; specify your preferred language when you inquire.

Do I need a power of attorney for the lawyer to act on my behalf?

For many follow-up actions (filings, signing documents on your behalf), a notarised power of attorney is required. The lawyer will advise when this is necessary.

Will the lawyer handle filings in UAE courts or tribunals?

If you engage the lawyer beyond consultation, they can prepare and file claims, represent you in courts/tribunals, negotiate settlements, or advise on alternative dispute resolution—subject to a separate engagement agreement.

How do you choose the right lawyer for my case?

AL SAHRAA matches your matter to lawyers with relevant UAE experience (commercial, employment, real estate, family, immigration, etc.) and explains their credentials and suggested approach.
