Referral to a Licensed UAE Lawyer or Law Firm
We connect individuals and businesses in the UAE with vetted, licensed lawyers and law firms for corporate, commercial, employment and dispute matters. Confidential, practical referrals tailored to your jurisdiction and language needs.
Overview
AL SAHRAA helps individuals and companies in the UAE find licensed lawyers or law firms best suited to their legal matter. Tell us the type of issue, preferred language, and any jurisdictional details (Dubai, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, etc.), and we will match you with an appropriate licensed practitioner. We consider practice area, court/authority experience, language and fee structure when making referrals. We do not provide legal advice ourselves; instead we connect you to qualified lawyers and coordinate initial contact or appointments if requested. Referrals are handled confidentially. After you accept a referral we can assist with appointment scheduling, document transfer to the lawyer, and basic logistics such as translating or notarizing documents if needed. To get started, send a short summary of the issue and the documents listed below. We will confirm eligibility for a referral, propose suitable law firms or lawyers, and outline next steps so you can engage counsel directly.
What to prepare
- Copy of Emirates ID or passport
- Company trade license or incorporation documents (if corporate matter)
- Power of Attorney (if someone is acting on your behalf)
- Short written summary of the legal issue or dispute
- Relevant contracts, agreements or MOUs
- Correspondence, invoices or other evidence related to the matter
- Court or authority reference numbers (if any)
- Any prior legal opinions or reports
