Layoffs, redundancies, and restructuring require careful planning, legal due diligence, and clear communication. Our lawyers guide employers through the legal and procedural obligations involved in adjusting headcount, changing employment terms, or winding down departments.
We help ensure compliance with statutory notice periods, severance calculations, and documentation requirements across mainland UAE and free zones. When disputes arise, we defend employers in negotiations and litigation related to wrongful dismissal or breach of contract.
We also counsel executives and employees facing redundancy, reviewing exit packages and negotiating favourable terms in sensitive or high-stakes scenarios.
