Lawyers and Legal Consultants

Lawyers and Legal Consultants are meant to help people. They are meant to help people in Courts, outside the court or by giving the advice only. Sometimes just legal counselling is required by a layman who does not know about the Law but finds himself in a CAOS, where he has to consult the Law. A Legal Consultant is enough for this purpose. Even a lawyer can play the role of a consultant but the difference comes when a law expert has to appear in court for a court case. Lawyer can only be an Emirati but a legal consultant can be anyone but who gets the license of a legal consultant, which is mandatory. Legal Consultants might be a little cheaper than lawyers. But the recommendation is to connect with a Law Firm then Emirati and competent Lawyer and Legal Consultant. The Emirati Lawyers in Dubai, Legal Consultants in Dubai by the Emirati Law Firms in Dubai are a name of credibility. The credibility which can’t be challenged or questioned. The reason and the factors behind this, are quite simple. The Universities offering Law Education, are offering the world’s best course. The criteria to get exams is amazing.

Expatriates can become the legal consultants but still they have to get the license to become and work as legal consultants. Legal Consultation means to get the legal advice by the Legal Consultants.

A Legal Consultant can be a full-service consultant or can be a consultant for a specific domain.

Obviously, these legal consultants will also cost more than the others (legal consultants).

The first or the initial advice can’t be free or should not be free. Legal Consultation is more than the exchange of arguments or counter arguments. Questions and answers are part of this. We must keep in mind that legal queries are answered by only the expert legal consultants who are authorized to give legal opinion. A legal consultant without a license is not a legal consultant. You can have a general discussion with these consultants. But a proper legal consultation, means a sitting with a licensed legal consultant. The licensed and authorized legal consultant will provide you the best possible and available advice. Such consultants are always updated with the latest info and amendments because every year when they have to renew the license then they have to pass the amendments in the exam. All such things make a legal consultant the best solution to getting the advice.

The subject of a Consultation is taken to the next level. Next levels can be court cases or the amicable settlements.

When you have doubts or when you are confirmed from the beginning that your matter will be taken to court then you should prefer to hire a Lawyer cum legal consultant. An ordinary matter or a small matter can be discussed with the consultant only. When you approach a Law Firm then you can meet a licensed consultant there. But he or she can’t appear in Court. Then, there is another guy/lawyer who has to be brought into the matter who could represent you in court. When the scenario is like that, then always do prefer to hire or meet the expert from the start who is a consultant sum lawyer and could lead you to the final end with a winning approach.  

UAE has also introduced new amendments in 2020 related to Family Law, Real Estate Law and Wills and Estate Law.
