United Arab Emirates
Court documents are prepared in Arabic. Each country (and in the UAE, each emirate or free-zone court) has its own forms, deadlines and filing portal; the lawyer adapts the document accordingly.
Documents in other languages may need a certified legal translation before they can be filed. Government, court, translation and notary fees are not included and are paid separately at cost.

FAQs
Are non-compete clauses enforceable?+
Generally only if reasonable in time, place and type of work. The lawyer drafts them to stay within those limits.
Does this replace the government contract?+
No. Where an official contract is required, these terms are added alongside it and must not conflict with it.
What if I don’t have every document on the list?+
Upload what you have. The lawyer will tell you what is essential and what can be described instead; the delivery time starts once the essentials are received.
Are court or government fees included?+
No. The package covers the lawyer’s work only. Any court, government, translation or notary fees are paid separately at cost.
