UAE LABOUR LAW . FEATURED
Article 10 of Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021 caps the post-termination non-compete at two years from the end-of-service date, with reasonable geography. MOHRE complaint panels and the DIFC employment court both strike out anything longer, and a generic five-year clause copy-pasted from a US template will not survive a single hearing.

What is the maximum non-compete period for a UAE startup hire?
Two years from the end-of-service date, with reasonable geographical scope under 50 km. This is set by Article 10 of Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021 (the UAE Labour Law). Anything longer is unenforceable in MOHRE complaint or DIFC employment court.

6 desks live
Six practice areas, each grounded in a verbatim corpus extracted from UAE legislation portals, DIFC and ADGM databases and the regulators’ own published material. Where the corpus is thin, we say so and route the question to our advocate. We do not template against foreign jurisdictions.

Six provisions
UAE Federal Law 23 of 1991 restricts the practice of law to licensed advocates. We hold to that line. Information work is done by the brain. Binding work is signed by our advocate against his Bar number and his professional indemnity. Below are the six provisions that let us put a lawyer’s name on a software generated output.
UAE Bar legal committee notice filed. Product framed as a legal information platform. Binding outputs are signed by a licensed advocate.
Advocate PI policy extended to AI assisted advice via written broker endorsement.
Platform side errors and omissions policy covers software defects and data breach exposure. Broker quotes received.
Personal data stored in Supabase EU central under PDPL Article 22(1)(a). Migration to G42 Khazna scheduled for month three.
Deterministic riba, gharar and maysir rules engine. Fourteen of fourteen seed tests pass. False positive rate under five per cent.
Every output carries an immutable provenance stamp: corpus version, model version, retrieved chunks and advocate validation. Seven year reconstruction guarantee.
VII/The advocate
Of counsel
“A platform with a lawyer’s name on the output is only as strong as the lawyer behind it.”
Our founder is a practising UAE advocate, regulated by the UAE Bar, with professional indemnity endorsed for AI assisted advice. He validates every clause in the library. He reviews every corpus update before it goes live. He signs Layer 2 documents on firm letterhead with his Bar number, and the signature carries to a verifiable provenance trail readable for seven years.
We do not market the advocate’s practice publicly until the UAE Bar pre clearance process completes. Full advocate profile, firm details and Bar number publish at launch.
