Employment Legal Services

Employment legal services are crucial for ensuring compliance with labor laws and protecting the rights of both employers and employees. Our expert employment lawyers help local and regional employers across sectors and for the entire cycle of the employment relationship.

We understand employment and the complexities it comes with it and we have a dedicated employment practice that can provide advice across the Middle East, especially in UAE, DIFC, ADGM, and KSA. We also get that people are at most times, the company’s biggest asset, but if things go south, it can cost you time, money, and stress.

At Moorgate Advisory, we advise on everything related to employment work, including transactional work, day-to-day employee relations, advice, incentivizing your staff with share options (give a real stake in the company they are working in) and employment litigation. As we help our clients through the constantly evolving employment environment in the region, we aim to help our clients with practical, commercially viable and affordable advice.
