Legal Services Pricing in the UAE
Starting prices so you can plan your budget. The exact estimate is confirmed in writing after we review your situation and does not change during the case without your consent.
We publish prices because "how much does this cost" is the first question people ask, and most legal websites in the UAE only answer it in private correspondence. Below are the real starting figures for each practice area.
All amounts are shown excluding UAE government fees and court fees. The court fee is calculated as a percentage of the claim amount and paid separately — we state its size before filing.
Consultations and checks
Documents
Courts and disputes
Family and inheritance
Business and visas
Real estate
How the estimate is put together
- Review. We study the documents and define the scope of work. The initial review is free.
- Estimate. We give a written calculation broken down by stage, with government fees shown as a separate line.
- Agreement. We fix the cost and timeline. Additional charges are possible only if the scope changes, and only with your consent.
- Reporting. After each stage, you receive a report on the work done.
