TME Legal
Employment Law in Dubai
TME Legal advises companies and investors on labor law in Dubai – legally sound, practical and internationally experienced.
Employment law in Dubai is primarily based on Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Organization of Employment Relationships in the United Arab Emirates and combines international standards with regional specifics. For entrepreneurs, investors, and employees, this results in clear legal requirements, but also complex challenges – particularly when drafting employment contracts, implementing personnel measures, legally compliant termination of employment relationships, and developing and implementing internal company policies.
TME Legal is your German-speaking law firm in Dubai. With in-depth legal expertise and over 30 years of experience in the Gulf region, we provide comprehensive advice on all employment law matters.
