Labour & Employment Law

Employment disputes in the UAE are governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and its implementing regulations, which replaced the older Labour Law and introduced significant protections for workers. We represent both employees and employers in disputes spanning unpaid salaries, end-of-service gratuity calculations, wrongful termination, travel ban removals filed by employers, annual leave entitlements, and repatriation obligations. For workers affected by employer insolvency or absconding employers, we pursue salary recovery through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the Labour Courts. Our practice covers mainland and free zone employment across all Emirates, as well as KSA labour disputes under the Saudi Labour Law and Qiwa platform procedures. In road accident and work injury cases, we also pursue compensation claims against insurers regardless of whether the injured party holds a valid insurance policy.
