LEGAL / PRACTICAL / PERSONAL
Legal Consultancy in Dubai & the UAE
Employment issues, rental disputes, legal notices and property concerns deserve a careful review of the facts. Start with a confidential discussion and a clear scope of legal support.
01 / THE OVERVIEW
Clarity from the start.
A useful legal consultation connects the documents, the chronology and the outcome you want to achieve. Our approach is to clarify the issue, identify the relevant forum and discuss proportionate next steps. Advice, drafting, negotiation and any representation are scoped separately. Where a matter requires court representation or a specialist licence, the appropriate authorised professional and engagement arrangements must be confirmed.
02 / YOUR OPTIONS
Explore every detail.
01 / SERVICE
Employment Issues
Employment concerns can affect both employees and employers. We help organise the relevant records and assess the questions arising from the employment relationship, rather than relying on an isolated clause or message.
• Unpaid salary, employment benefits and end-of-service questions.
• Contract review, notice periods, resignation and termination concerns.
• Disciplinary correspondence, workplace grievances and settlement proposals.
• Preparation for the appropriate complaint or dispute-resolution route.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A document-based assessment and practical next steps. The process depends on the employer, jurisdiction and applicable regime; mainland, free-zone and domestic-worker matters may follow different routes.
02 / SERVICE
Rental Dispute
A tenancy dispute needs the lease, notices, payment history and supporting correspondence considered together. We support tenants and landlords with the preparation required to understand the dispute and the available options.
• Rent and renewal disagreements, maintenance issues and deposit disputes.
• Review of eviction or other tenancy notices and the circumstances in which they were sent.
• Organisation of Ejari or other applicable tenancy registration, receipts and communications.
• Preparation for settlement discussions and the appropriate rental dispute forum.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A clear chronology, an organised evidence file and a plan for the next procedural step. Dubai rental matters may fall within the Rental Disputes Center; jurisdiction must be checked.
03 / SERVICE
Legal Notices
A notice should communicate the relevant facts, the requested action and the correct recipient with precision. We help prepare or review notices so the wording and delivery method suit the intended purpose.
• Payment demands, contractual breach notices and responses to a notice received.
• Termination, cancellation and other formal communications.
• Review of names, addresses, contract references, dates and supporting evidence.
• Coordination of translation, notarisation or formal service where the process requires it.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A reviewed notice and a documented delivery plan. Sending a notice does not by itself establish liability, obtain a judgment or guarantee payment.
04 / SERVICE
Real Estate Attorney Support
Property disagreements may involve a purchase contract, developer obligations, ownership, a mortgage or the use of the property. A legal review should begin with the actual documents and the transaction history.
• Purchase and sale contract concerns, payment disputes and default allegations.
• Developer correspondence, handover issues and off-plan contractual questions.
• Property-related settlement terms and legal document review.
• Identification of the competent authority, forum and representation requirements.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A property-specific issue assessment. Where an attorney’s appearance or licensed representation is necessary, the responsible professional and scope are confirmed before proceeding.
05 / SERVICE
Corporate, commercial & legal drafting
Clear documentation can prevent misunderstandings in day-to-day business. We help examine whether commercial documents reflect the arrangements the parties actually intend.
• Business contracts, service agreements, confidentiality and settlement documents.
• Shareholder and management arrangements, subject to the relevant company regime.
• Review of obligations, payment terms, termination rights and dispute clauses.
• Coordination with specialist counsel for matters outside the agreed scope.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A focused drafting or review brief, with the clauses and decisions requiring attention explained in context.
03 / PREPARE
Your starting checklist.
The exact document list is confirmed for your circumstances. This checklist helps you prepare for the first discussion.
• A short written chronology with the key dates and people involved.
• Contracts, amendments, signed notices and relevant correspondence.
• Identity and company documents needed to confirm the parties.
• Payment receipts, statements or other evidence supporting the issue.
• Any court, ministry, police, regulator or dispute-centre reference and documents.
• Known response deadlines, hearings or appointments and the outcome you want.
04 / HOW IT WORKS
A clear path forward.
01 / STEP
Share the facts
Explain the issue and flag any urgent deadline at the start. Send the relevant documents through the agreed channel.
02 / STEP
Define the scope
Confirm the parties, potential conflicts, jurisdiction and whether you need advice, drafting, negotiation or representation.
03 / STEP
Assess your options
Review the available records, identify gaps and explain the practical options and their implications.
04 / STEP
Agree the next step
Set the responsibilities, fee basis and deliverables before work proceeds. Escalate to the relevant authorised professional when required.
05 / PLAN AHEAD
Costs. Timing. Expectations.
Agree the scope and understand the full picture before proceeding.
• The quotation depends on document volume, urgency, jurisdiction and the work requested.
• Consultation, drafting, negotiation and representation are different scopes and should be priced clearly.
• Translation, notarisation, filing, expert and court-related costs may be separate.
• No outcome or recovery is guaranteed. Timeframes depend on the forum, the other party and the procedural stage.
06 / ANSWERS
Know before you begin.
Can you tell me the outcome before reviewing my documents?
No reliable assessment should be based only on a brief message. A review of the facts, documents and applicable process is needed before discussing the strength of a position or a practical strategy.
What if I have received a legal notice?
Keep the notice, delivery record and related contract. Tell us when it was received and whether it states a deadline. Do not assume that every notice uses the same response period.
Can a dispute be settled without a court case?
Some matters can be resolved through direct negotiation, mediation or the relevant settlement process. Suitability depends on the issue and the parties. Any settlement should be documented and reviewed before acceptance.
Which employment authority applies to my case?
That depends on your employer and the employment regime. Share the contract, work-permit details and employer’s licence information so the appropriate route can be identified.
Do all rental disputes go to the same forum?
No. The location, property and contractual framework matter. For a Dubai matter, share the tenancy contract and registration information so jurisdiction can be checked.
Will STF represent me in court?
The consultation establishes whether representation is required and who is authorised to undertake it. The appointed professional, authority to act, fees and scope must be confirmed separately before any appearance or filing.
07 / LET’S TALK
