Labour and Employment Lawyers
At Ahmed Alramsy advocates, our labour and employment lawyers provide professional, efficient, and confidential legal support for workplace matters across the UAE — helping employees and employers resolve disputes through MOHRE procedures, negotiate fair settlements, and, where needed, pursue or defend claims before the UAE Labour Courts.
Overview of Our Legal Labour and Employment services
Workplace disputes in the UAE can move fast. A sudden termination, unpaid salary, a MOHRE complaint, or pressure to sign a “final settlement” can affect your income, visa status, and legal position before you have time to understand your rights.
At Ahmed AlRamsy Advocates & Legal Consultants, our UAE-licensed advocates advise and represent employees and employers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE. We focus on practical outcomes: protecting your position early, managing communications, and building a case that stands up in settlement discussions and, when needed, before the Labour Court.
If the issue is urgent, speak with an employment lawyer before you resign, sign any settlement, or give written statements.
What Our Labour and Employment Services Cover?
1. Employment Contracts and Workplace Policies
We advise employers and employees on the drafting, review, and negotiation of employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, and related workplace documentation. Our team also assists businesses in developing internal employment policies that comply with UAE labour legislation while reflecting the operational needs of the organisation. This includes guidance on non-compete clauses, post-employment restrictions, and enforceability issues. All documentation is structured in accordance with the applicable Federal Decree-Law and its Executive Regulations.
2. Regulatory Compliance and Employment Audits
We support employers in maintaining compliance with UAE labour laws and regulatory obligations. Our services include reviewing employment practices, contracts, and HR policies to identify compliance gaps and legal risks. Where required, we conduct focused employment audits and advise on corrective measures, including compliance with Ministerial Resolutions, new work models, and obligations imposed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
3. Workplace Investigations
Where allegations of misconduct, harassment, or discrimination arise, our employment lawyers conduct structured and impartial workplace investigations. We guide employers through the investigation process, ensuring procedural fairness and compliance with UAE Labour Law and MOHRE-mandated grievance procedures. Our findings enable informed decision-making while reducing the risk of escalation into formal labour disputes.
5. Training and Compliance Programs
To minimise workplace risk, we deliver targeted training programs for management and staff on key employment law issues. These include disciplinary procedures, workplace conduct, harassment prevention, and labour law compliance. Training sessions are tailored to the organisation’s structure and aligned with Emiratisation requirements and MOHRE regulatory expectations.
4. Employment Dispute Resolution and Litigation
We represent both employers and employees in employment-related disputes, including wrongful or arbitrary dismissal, disciplinary matters, wage and entitlement claims, and workplace complaints. Our approach prioritises early resolution through negotiation or mediation where appropriate. When disputes cannot be resolved amicably, our licensed advocates provide representation before Labour Reconciliation Committees and UAE Labour Courts at all levels.
6. Labour Relations and Group Employment Matters
While formal labour unions are not recognised under UAE law, we advise organisations on managing group employment issues and collective workplace concerns. Our team assists with internal labour relations, policy compliance, grievance handling, and structured resolution of group disputes in line with UAE labour regulations and administrative procedures.

What Is Employment (Labour) Law in the UAE?
Employment relationships in the UAE private sector are governed by federal labour legislation, supported by executive regulations and MOHRE procedures. In practice, this framework controls:
Contract types and core terms
Salary payments and entitlements
Leave rights and workplace obligations
Termination rules, notice, and post-employment issues
Dispute handling through MOHRE and Labour Courts
Some free zones have distinct employment regulations and processes. If your contract is under a special regime (for example, certain financial free zones), we assess the correct legal framework before taking action.

Our Legal Labour and Employment Services Process
Most clients contact us either before filing a complaint or after signing a document, and early control usually leads to better outcomes.
We start with an immediate assessment of the timeline, contract status, key documents, and any unpaid entitlements to set the safest next steps.
We gather and organise evidence (contract papers, salary records, messages, leave/overtime proof, and settlement drafts) and help rebuild proof if documents are missing.
We prepare and manage the MOHRE complaint and settlement strategy, including drafting the position, reducing risky admissions, and ensuring settlement wording does not waive rights.
If settlement fails, we escalate to Labour Court with a court-ready file focused on provable claims, correct legal basis, accurate calculations, and anticipated defenses.

Legal Labour and Employment Services- Frequently Asked Questions
Do you represent employees and employers?
Yes. We advise and represent both employees and employers. Strategy depends on the facts, the documents, and the stage of the dispute.
I was fired and asked to sign a final settlement. What should I do?
Do not sign under pressure. Have the settlement reviewed first. Settlement wording can waive rights even when payment terms look correct.
Can I claim compensation for unfair dismissal in the UAE?
Compensation depends on the legal basis, evidence, and how the termination happened. We assess the termination reason, procedure, and settlement history before advising on claims and remedies.
What documents do you need to review my case?
Start with what you have: offer letter, MOHRE contract, termination/resignation letter, payslips, bank statements, WPS patterns, leave records, and any settlement draft. Messages and emails often matter.
Do you handle work injury and workplace compensation claims?
Yes. We handle occupational injury matters in UAE practice. If you searched “workers compensation lawyers” or “workers comp atty,” we can guide you through documentation, reporting steps, and compensation claims in the UAE legal context.
