Law firm software that already knows the Emirates.

The courts

Four court systems in one emirate. All four, out of the box.

The UAE is not one jurisdiction and a firm here rarely works in only one of them. An international system gives you a generic “case” and asks you to model the difference yourself.

Federal Courts

First instance, appeal and cassation, with the case types each hears and the stages a matter moves through already in the system.

Dubai Courts

The emirate's own structure rather than the federal one, because a firm filing in Dubai is not filing federally and the two do not share a calendar.

DIFC Courts

The common-law jurisdiction inside the emirate, with its own procedure — modelled as itself, not folded into the civil courts.

ADGM Courts

Abu Dhabi Global Market, likewise. A firm working across onshore and both financial free zones runs all three from one book of business.

AED · VAT 5% · locations, banks and tax set per country

Tax and compliance

UAE VAT, on the invoice rather than in a spreadsheet beside it.

TRN on both sides of the invoice

Your Tax Registration Number and the client's, carried on the invoice record itself — the two numbers an FTA-valid VAT invoice has to show. The client's TRN sits on the client, so it is right on every invoice rather than retyped on each one.

VAT at 5%, per client where it differs

Tax is a slab on the client, not a single firm-wide rate, so a zero-rated export client and a standard-rated local one can sit in the same ledger without a manual override on every line.

The VAT return, as a report

Input VAT from expenses, output VAT from invoices and the VAT to be paid, for any period, in PDF or Excel — and in Arabic or English. The quarterly return stops being a spreadsheet somebody rebuilds.

Dirhams, and the rest

AED with the locations, banks and tax details set per country, so a firm with work in Riyadh or Cairo is not converting anything by hand.

I now have all the cases with the dates, assignments, tasks, reporting in one place, one now knows exactly what work do we have and when is it due.

Intake to invoice, whichever side of the table you are on.

FAQ

Common questions from firms in the Emirates.

Federal Courts, Dubai Courts, DIFC and ADGM — the case types each hears, the stages a matter moves through, and an appeal period held per case type rather than as one number for everything. You confirm the values against your own practice on setup; what you do not have to do is build the structure. Six other jurisdictions ship the same way, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.
