Civil Law is enacted at the federal level in Dubai and the wider UAE. However, laws also vary between each of the emirates. These devolved powers mean civil laws differ depending on location. Different cities and areas in the country require slightly different approaches and areas of expertise.

At ESQ, we offer a wealth of knowledge and skill, effectively navigating the nuances behind civil Law, whether among private individuals or disputes between individuals and organizations. Civil Law differs from criminal Law in that it deals with non-criminal charges such as not paying rent or breaking a contract. Civil Law mainly deals with issues related to rental agreements, collecting debt, warrants and negligence. Civil Law typically has interests in landlord and tenancy agreements, debt collection, contracts, or corporate negligence.
