The legal system in UAE is institutionally different from India. Both countries follow different laws. India follows Common Law whereas Dubai follows Civil Law.
Regulations in Dubai governing the legal profession, refer to two categories of lawyer:
• Legal Consultants – permitted to deliver legal opinions and advice, register and liquidate companies, draft contracts, and represent clients at arbitration tribunals.
• Legal Advocates – can additionally to those services listed above, plead and represent clients before Dubai courts, judicial authorities, security departments, and conciliation tribunals.
For a foreign lawyer, one can practice local law, but only a Dubai national can appear in court in Dubai.
For a foreign law firm, it must get a professional licence from the Dubai Department of Economic Development.
To start a legal firm providing Legal Services inside the Middle East, you will need a local partner as well as a license to practice.
