Ongoing contract drafting, review, and negotiation, plus legal advisory and due diligence support, for Dubai and UAE businesses, without hiring a full-time legal department. An international team working remotely, on call for whatever comes up, at a predictable monthly cost.
How many contracts you’re reviewing a month, whether you’re mid-negotiation on something now, or just want ongoing advisory access, share the details and we’ll recommend the right retainer tier.
Most businesses don’t have enough legal work to justify a full-time in-house lawyer, but they have more than an occasional contract can cover, new agreements to draft, existing ones to review, terms to negotiate. A retainer fills that gap: an international legal team you can bring a contract, a question, or a deal to whenever it comes up, at a predictable monthly rate instead of a fresh invoice every time.
This isn’t a subscription you pay and forget. We stay close to your business, your standard contracts, your usual counterparties, your recurring questions, so advice gets faster and more specific the longer we work together, not generic each time.
New contracts get drafted from scratch when you need them, vendor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, whatever the deal calls for. Everything that lands on your desk from someone else gets reviewed before you sign, risks flagged in plain language, not buried in legal terms. When a deal needs negotiating, we brief you on exactly what to push back on, or negotiate directly with the other side on your behalf.
A direct line to ask legal questions as they come up, before a decision, not after. Structuring a new deal, wondering if a clause is actually enforceable, unsure how to handle a difficult counterparty, this is where those questions go, with answers within your retainer hours rather than a new engagement each time.
Before a significant deal, investment, or new business relationship, we review the underlying documents and flag what actually matters, corporate structure questions, contractual exposure, and terms that need renegotiating before you commit.
Contract review, ongoing advisory, due diligence, or a mix, tell us your typical workload.
Choose the monthly hours that fit, upgrade or downgrade as your needs change.
Set up monthly billing, no lengthy paperwork before we start.
You’re introduced to the lawyers actually handling your account, not routed through a generic inbox.
The more hours in your package, the lower the effective hourly rate. Billed monthly, upgrade or downgrade any time.
$200/month
4 hours per month
For businesses with occasional contracts to review and the odd legal question, without the volume to justify a bigger commitment.
$450/month
10 hours per month
For businesses reviewing contracts regularly, negotiating with counterparties, and wanting a legal team that already knows their business.
$800/month
20 hours per month
For businesses with real ongoing volume, frequent contracts, active negotiations, and periodic due diligence, effectively an external legal function.
Need more than 20 hours a month, or prefer a quarterly or annual commitment at a further reduced rate? Tell us your volume and we’ll quote accordingly.
My Legal Pal’s Dubai retainer clients work with the same lawyers every time, not a rotating queue. We’re based in India, working remotely for businesses across Dubai and the UAE, which means senior legal attention at a fraction of the cost of a Dubai-based in-house hire or law firm retainer, without losing the continuity that makes ongoing legal support actually useful. The longer we work together, the faster and more specific the advice gets, because we already know your contracts, your counterparties, and how you operate.
One-off contract drafting, no retainer needed.
Founders’ agreements, term sheets, SAFEs, and ESOPs.
Holding your position at the table.
Tell us your typical workload, and we’ll recommend the right tier.
