Why you can buy this with confidence

Handled by a vetted UAE lawyer

Every legal professional on our panel is licensed to practise in the UAE, checked for standing and matched to the type of matter before any work starts.

How we can promise a flat rate

This service has a defined scope, so we know the work it takes. You pay one published fee for that scope. If the matter turns out to be larger, we tell you before anything else is done, and nothing is charged without your written approval.

How we can promise the turnaround

A duty lawyer is on rotation during working hours and paid matters are routed the moment payment clears, which is how we hold the 10-minute contact window and the delivery time shown above.

Your information stays confidential

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I pay?: A UAE legal professional will contact you by WhatsApp or phone within 10 minutes. They will confirm the request, collect anything else required and begin the service.
What happens if Index cannot handle my request?: Your Index service fee will be refunded in full.
Are government fees included?: No, unless the service expressly says they are included. Government, court, notary, licence, registration, translation and other third-party fees are shown separately before they are incurred.
Is the work reviewed by a lawyer?: Where the service involves UAE legal advice or legal drafting, it is reviewed or delivered by an appropriately qualified UAE legal professional.
How are your lawyers vetted?: We work with a small panel rather than an open marketplace. Each professional is licensed to practise in the UAE, checked for good standing, and only given matters in the areas they practise in day to day.
How can the fee be fixed?: Each service has a defined scope, so the work is predictable and priced once. If your matter turns out to need more than the published scope, we tell you first and nothing further is charged without your written approval.
Can I speak to someone before paying?: Yes. Book One Hour With a Dubai Lawyer for AED 750, credited in full against any service you instruct within 30 days.
How quickly will I receive the work?: The delivery time is shown on every service. Many reviews and documents are delivered within 24 hours.
Can I request changes?: Each service states whether a revision or follow-up question is included.
