contract drafting lawyers
A poorly drafted contract can expose your business to disputes, delays, and financial risk — our UAE contract drafting service ensures your agreements are clear, enforceable, and commercially secure.
Overview of Our Legal Contract Drafting Service
In the UAE, many disputes start with agreements copied from templates or drafted without understanding UAE contract law, court practice, or enforcement realities. When a dispute arises, courts and arbitrators first examine the contract itself.
At Ahmed Al Ramsy Advocates & Legal Consultants, our licensed UAE advocates draft, review, and negotiate enforceable agreements aligned with the UAE Civil Code, Dubai practice, and where applicable, DIFC frameworks. With 25+ years of experience and 1,000+ successful cases, we ensure your contract works in practice — not just on paper.
We frequently see contracts that:
Fail to clearly define scope of work
Contain weak or unclear termination clauses
Omit governing law and jurisdiction provisions
Conflict with UAE mandatory legal requirements
Create uncertainty around payment terms and liability
If you are signing, revising, or negotiating a contract, this is where legal precision matters most.
What Our Legal Contract Drafting Services Cover?
1. Commercial & Business Agreements
We draft and review service agreements, B2B contracts, and agreements between companies for the provision of services. Whether you need a company contract agreement or a customised business contract structure, we ensure clarity in scope, payment terms, liability, termination, and dispute resolution — aligned with UAE law and practical enforcement standards.
2. Sales & Purchase Agreements
We prepare and review sales and purchase agreements in Dubai and across the UAE, including asset purchase and share purchase agreements. Our focus is on protecting your position through properly structured payment terms, transfer obligations, warranties, indemnities, and governing law clauses.
3. Partnership & Joint Venture Agreements
We draft partnership agreements in the UAE, joint venture agreements, and MoA-related documentation where applicable. These agreements clearly define capital contributions, profit distribution, management authority, exit mechanisms, and dispute resolution to prevent internal conflicts and future litigation.
5- Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
We draft Memorandums of Understanding in the UAE for commercial collaborations and pre-contractual negotiations. Our MoUs are structured to clarify whether provisions are binding or non-binding and to prevent unintended legal exposure before a final agreement is executed.
4. Employment Contracts
We prepare and review employment contracts in Dubai and across the UAE to ensure compliance with UAE Labour Law. This includes executive agreements, confidentiality clauses, non-compete provisions, and compliance reviews of employment contract templates to reduce risk of labour disputes.
6. Real Estate & Property Contracts
We draft and review property sales agreements, addenda, and documentation relating to title deed numbers and real estate transactions in Dubai. In coordination with our construction lawyers where necessary, we ensure contractual protection in both property and construction-related agreements.
The Vision of Dr. Ahmed El Ramsy

Key Highlights:
- Born into a family with deep roots in business and law in the UAE.
- Completed early education in the UAE and earned a law degree in Europe.
- Gained experience at top law firms in Dubai before founding his own practice.
- Founded Al Ramsy Advocates in 2015, headquartered in Dubai.
- Focused on offering tailored legal strategies to meet the specific needs of regional and international clients.
- Combines local market knowledge with international business and legal expertise.
What Is Contract Drafting in UAE Law?
Under the UAE Civil Transactions Law, a valid contract requires offer, acceptance, legal capacity, and a lawful object and cause. If any of these elements are unclear or improperly structured, enforceability becomes vulnerable.
In practice, your agreement must:
Clearly identify the contracting parties
Define rights and obligations with precision
Specify payment terms and consideration
Establish measurable performance standards
Address termination rights and legal remedies
A poorly drafted contract creates ambiguity — and ambiguity creates disputes. UAE courts interpret agreements based on wording, intent, and surrounding circumstances. If clarity is missing, the court may fill the gaps — not always in your favour.
Professional contract drafting is not about copying a template. It is about structuring enforceable rights and obligations that withstand legal scrutiny.

Our Contract Drafting Service Process
Our approach to contract drafting is structured, strategic, and aligned with UAE enforcement practice. Each stage is designed to reduce risk, prevent disputes, and ensure your agreement is commercially practical.
Commercial Understanding
We begin by analysing your business model, transaction value, payment structure, risk exposure, and the profile of the counterparty to understand the commercial context of the agreement.Risk Mapping
We assess liability exposure, performance risks, payment default scenarios, regulatory implications, and determine the appropriate jurisdiction strategy (UAE Courts, Arbitration, or DIFC).Drafting & Structuring
We prepare clear scope clauses, structured payment and milestone terms, termination provisions, governing law clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms aligned with enforcement realities.Negotiation Support
We review and respond to counterparty amendments, negotiating key provisions such as indemnities, limitation of liability, liquidated damages, and confidentiality terms.Finalisation & Execution Guidance
We ensure bilingual consistency where required, compliance with UAE legal formalities, proper signatory authority, and correct agreement structure prior to execution.

Problems We Solve
1. Payment Risk
Unclear or poorly structured payment terms often lead to disputes and cash flow disruption. We draft precise payment clauses, milestone triggers, late-payment protections, and suspension rights to secure your financial position.
2. Termination Disputes
Improper termination clauses can result in wrongful termination claims or compensation exposure. We include lawful termination provisions aligned with UAE legal practice, clearly defining notice requirements, consequences, and remedies.
3. Jurisdiction Confusion
Choosing between UAE Courts, Arbitration, or DIFC Courts is a strategic decision. We advise on the most suitable forum to avoid enforcement complications and ensure your dispute resolution mechanism supports your commercial objectives.
4. Weak Templates
Many downloadable “contract samples” or “agreement formats” fail to comply with UAE law, omit dispute resolution clarity, ignore mandatory employment rules, or include foreign legal references. We convert template-based drafts into properly structured, enforceable UAE contracts.
5. Partnership Deadlocks
Poorly drafted partnership agreements often create governance conflicts and operational paralysis. We structure clear decision-making thresholds, exit mechanisms, buy-out clauses, and governance controls to prevent internal disputes.

Template vs Lawyer-Drafted UAE Contract
Not all contracts offer the same level of protection. While generic templates may appear convenient, they often fail to address UAE legal requirements, enforcement realities, and commercial risk allocation. A professionally drafted contract is structured to withstand scrutiny before UAE Courts or arbitration tribunals.
| Issue | Generic Contract Template | Lawyer-Drafted UAE Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Governing Law | Often missing or based on foreign law | Clearly defined and enforceable under UAE law |
| Jurisdiction | Vague or improperly drafted | Strategically selected (UAE Courts, Arbitration, or DIFC) |
| Liability | Unbalanced or unclear risk allocation | Commercially negotiated and legally structured |
| Employment Compliance | Not aligned with UAE Labour Law | Fully compliant with UAE mandatory rules |
| Enforcement Strength | Higher risk of legal challenge | Drafted for court and arbitration scrutiny |
