How We Work

What is Civil Law in the UAE?

The two major types of law in the world are common and civil, and civil deals with legal matters that do not have a clear distinction in common law. These laws seek to answer questions such as “which parent is more suitable to raise their child?” during a divorce, “who is at fault?” in a case involving a personal injury on private property, or “did negligence occur?” during medical malpractice cases. Civil law is typically based on a series of codes, which means the UAE and Dubai rely on the codes from similar countries (particularly Egypt) as well as Islamic Sharia Law. Still, if you’re familiar with civil law in Europe or North America, you will likely understand what civil law covers in the UAE.   

Cases that fall into the category of civil law in the UAE include:
Contract disputes, typically handled by civil dispute lawyers.
Property disputes, handled by real estate lawyers.
Family law disputes, handled by family lawyers.
Tort claims and cases, handled by various lawyers for civil cases.
Debt recovery cases, handled by various lawyers for civil cases.

Dealing with Disputes, Litigation, and Breach of Contract

Civil law dictates how courts handle issues between two individual parties or groups, which includes landlords and tenants, bosses and employees, business partners, shareholders, motorists involved in an accident, spouses, and much, much more. If you have an official agreement with someone else, feel that they didn’t hold up their end of the bargain, or have reason to believe that you have been cheated in some way, the case will likely end up in civil court (though findings in civil court can result in criminal proceedings.) It’s important to have good civil law lawyers on your shortlist as some of these situations can arrive suddenly and without much warning.

OUTCOME

Legal Help civil law lawyers are experts in negotiation, civil law, and presentation. They are adept at handling any civil law case that could arise and are prepared to mediate contracts, defend you in court, or find proof that another party wronged you. Civil law is broad, and finding an expert in every aspect can be difficult, but the civil law teams at Legal Help are ready to tackle any case, mediation, negotiation, or settlement in your name.

Family Law and Divorce Law is Civil Law

Divorces are difficult processes. They are almost never fully mutual and the parties involved are left with the difficult task of untangling their lives from one another, which leads to disagreements and litigation. Civil law is especially hazy here as most of the results are based on the wishes of the spouses separating, but when a disagreement becomes impassable, you need to have a good civil lawyer on your side. Civil lawyers are responsible for understanding the subtle nuances in your opponents requests and what legal ground you have to push back. With divorces, this is especially important, as negative outcomes can impact the custody of your children, ownership of your home, and control of your investments and finances.

OUTCOME

A civil lawyer from Legal Help can help take reigns in what is almost always a difficult time. They can think clearly and approach each issue logically to get you the best possible resolution in your divorce. Besides being expert negotiators during mediations, they understand where the law can intervene with a demand or request from your spouse, especially as it pertains to custody. They can also do whatever is possible to protect your investments prior to the marriage, making them indispensable as legal guides during a divorce.

Civil Lawyers are an Important Part of Your Legal Team

Whether you want to bring your corporation to Dubai or start a business in the UAE, civil lawyers are going to be a critical part of your company’s legal team. Having a company in the UAE means you will absolutely have to deal with negotiations, contracts, and disputes — it’s just part of doing business. If you open a new branch or facility, you will need to purchase the land or lease it out, resulting in a contract and potentially a property dispute. If you want to collaborate with other companies in the area, you will need to negotiate an accord. If you have employees or contractors, having a legally sound employment agreement will prevent government involvement in disputes between you and your staff. Having civil law experts on your legal team is, at least, a necessity.

OUTCOME

Legal Help’s civil law lawyers are experts in every aspect of intercompany negotiations, agreements, documentation, disputes, and more. They can help you understand what is really being offered in agreements, produce clear and sound legal contracts, and help your HR team run a work environment that is equal and fair in the eyes of the government. Trying to learn how to approach every company action without a legal team is a recipe for disaster, but with Legal Help, you’re not going it alone.
