Overview

What Are Sexual Harassment Legal Services?

Sexual harassment legal services cover confidential legal advice, criminal defense, investigation support, and court representation for individuals accused of sexual harassment or related offences under UAE law.

Under Article 413 of Federal Decree-Law No. 31 of 2021 Promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law, sexual harassment involves persistent conduct through repeated acts, words, or gestures that offend a person’s modesty with the intention of causing that person to submit to the sexual desires of the perpetrator or another person. Criminal law provides imprisonment of at least one year and/or a fine of at least AED 10,000, with higher minimum penalties in specified aggravated circumstances.

Our UAE sexual harassment lawyers assist individuals facing allegations involving workplace conduct, personal interactions, communications, alleged inappropriate behavior, or other conduct that may result in criminal proceedings.

Where a matter requires immediate action, our team can assist with police station representation, attendance during Public Prosecution proceedings, bail applications, and legal applications concerning travel restrictions.

Our defense approach focuses on understanding the allegation, reviewing the evidence, protecting the client’s procedural rights, and presenting the appropriate legal response at each stage of the case.
