Family Law

Family Law

Divorce, Custody & Marriage Law in the UAE

Family law in the UAE requires careful attention to the parties’ individual circumstances. Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024 on the Personal Status Law forms a central part of the current federal framework and contains provisions dealing with marriage, divorce, custody, guardianship, maintenance, and other personal status matters.

For Muslim families, UAE personal status law is closely connected with Islamic principles. The legislation expressly addresses its application where both parties or one party to the relationship is Muslim.

The position for expatriates and non-Muslims requires a more detailed assessment. Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022 on Civil Personal Status provides a civil personal status framework for non-Muslims within its scope. UAE law also contains provisions concerning the application of another permitted law in certain circumstances.

This is why nationality or expatriate status alone does not provide a complete answer to a family law question. Religion, nationality, the nature of the relationship, applicable legislation, and the facts of the matter may all need to be considered.

Our family lawyers in Dubai review these factors before explaining the legal options and procedures that may be relevant to a client.

Corporate Law

Corporate Law

Company & Commercial Law in the UAE

The UAE provides businesses with several legal environments in which to operate. Choosing the appropriate jurisdiction depends on the nature of the business, ownership requirements, licensing objectives, and commercial strategy.

Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 on Commercial Companies forms the principal legislative framework governing many mainland companies in the UAE. It addresses matters including company formation, corporate governance, shareholder rights, management, restructuring, and dissolution.

Businesses may also establish entities within UAE free zones, each operating under its own regulatory framework. The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) each maintain independent company legislation and courts for matters within their jurisdiction.

Understanding these differences is important before establishing a business or entering a significant commercial transaction. Among commercial law firms in Dubai, Al Mazmy provides practical guidance that helps clients select appropriate legal structures while remaining compliant with applicable regulations.

Banking Law

Banking Law

Financial Regulation & Disputes in the UAE

The UAE financial sector does not operate under one regulator or one set of rules in every circumstance. Identifying the correct regulatory and jurisdictional framework is an important first step.

Onshore banking and regulated financial activities fall within the federal financial regulatory framework and the supervision of the Central Bank of the UAE. Federal Decree-Law No. 6 of 2025 Regarding the Central Bank, Regulation of Financial Institutions and Activities, and Insurance Business provides a central part of the current legislative framework.

The position differs in the UAE’s international financial centers. Financial services conducted in or from the Dubai International Financial Centre are regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority. In Abu Dhabi Global Market, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority supervises regulated financial services.

This distinction can matter when assessing licensing, regulatory obligations, contractual arrangements, and disputes. The governing documents, parties, location of the activity, and agreed jurisdiction may all require examination.

Through our legal consultancy in Dubai, clients can obtain guidance on the legal context of a financial matter before making significant commercial or procedural decisions.

Real Estate Law

Real Estate Law

Property Law, the DLD & RERA in Dubai

Dubai’s property market operates within a structured regulatory framework designed to promote transparency and confidence in real estate transactions.

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) is responsible for the registration of property ownership and a range of land and property-related services. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), which forms part of the DLD, regulates aspects of Dubai’s real estate sector, including brokers, developers, and certain regulatory requirements affecting property transactions.

Depending on the nature of the matter, property disputes may involve contractual interpretation, ownership questions, regulatory requirements, construction issues, or tenancy legislation. The appropriate legal procedure depends on the facts of the dispute and the relevant legal framework.

Off-plan developments may also involve additional legal considerations concerning project documentation, payment obligations, escrow arrangements, and completion timelines. Careful legal review before committing to an investment can help buyers better understand their contractual position.

As a real estate law firm in Dubai, Al Mazmy advises clients on both transactional and contentious property matters, providing guidance that reflects the applicable UAE legislation and Dubai’s regulatory framework.

Labor Law

Labor Law

UAE Labour Law & MOHRE Explained

Private-sector employment relationships in the UAE are primarily governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 Regarding the Regulation of Employment Relationships, as amended, together with its Executive Regulations under Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022.

The legislation addresses major aspects of employment, including contracts, working arrangements, wages, leave, termination, and end-of-service benefits. However, the applicable legal framework and dispute process can differ for certain categories of workers and employment relationships, including those governed by separate jurisdictional rules.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) plays a central role in many private-sector labor disputes. A complaint may be submitted to MOHRE, which can attempt to resolve the dispute amicably. Under the current framework, MOHRE may issue a final executive decision in certain disputes where the value of the claim does not exceed AED 50,000. Other unresolved matters may proceed through the competent court process.

Timelines can be important. The Labor Law contains limitation provisions for employment claims, and procedural deadlines may also apply to particular decisions or stages of a dispute. Employees and employers should therefore avoid assuming that a workplace disagreement can be addressed at any time.

As one of the experienced employment law firms in Dubai, Al Mazmy reviews the facts, documents, jurisdiction, and applicable procedures before advising clients on potential next steps.

Criminal Law

Criminal Law

The Criminal Case Process in the UAE

A criminal matter may begin with a police complaint or investigation. Depending on the circumstances, the case may then be referred to the Public Prosecution, which examines the available evidence and determines how the matter should proceed under UAE law.

Where appropriate, the case may continue before the competent criminal court. During the proceedings, the court considers the evidence, submissions, and applicable legislation before reaching a decision. Certain judgments may be subject to appeal in accordance with UAE law and procedural requirements.

The exact process depends on the alleged offense, the available evidence, and the procedural stage of the case. Individuals should avoid relying on general assumptions or advice from unofficial sources, as criminal matters often involve strict procedural rules and legal deadlines.

Those searching for the best criminal lawyers in Dubai frequently require urgent legal advice before attending an interview or responding to investigators. Obtaining professional legal guidance at an early stage may help clarify your legal position and the procedural steps involved.

Our legal consultancy in Dubai also assists individuals and businesses seeking preventive legal advice before issues develop into formal disputes or criminal proceedings.
