BaghdadiLaw

BaghdadiLaw’s experience in labor & employment law

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to employment matters, with a firm grasp of how contracts, pay, termination, compensation and evidence of rights connect across the employment relationship. We advise employees and employers on contracts, pay, dismissal, compensation and workplace injuries. We consider the employment relationship as a whole while distinguishing financial entitlements from the decisions and procedures behind the dispute.

At BaghdadiLaw, our work combines record review, entitlement calculations and negotiation with preparation for settlement or litigation. For businesses, we also draft policies and contractual documents that address their actual workforce arrangements.

We handle claims, defence, settlement review and representation, coordinating related matters for consistent positions and calculations. The engagement can include judgment enforcement, with communication that explains each step’s effect on the employer’s or employee’s rights and obligations.

Omar Al-Baghdadi leads our team with more than 30 years of legal experience. From your first consultation through the agreed legal work, you stay in direct contact with our team. We operate in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Syria through licensed partners and lawyers, coordinating local proceedings and representation within the engagement. Start with an online consultation by WhatsApp or email, in Arabic or English, and continue with a team that connects your circumstances to the agreed legal work.

Practice-specific FAQ

Before requesting labor & employment law advice.

Should an employment termination be reviewed before notice is issued?

Where possible, yes. Pre-termination review can test the legal basis, procedure, evidence, notice, final dues, communications, and avoidable risk.

Can unpaid employment amounts be calculated during the consultation?

The disputed components can be identified and reviewed against the available contract and records. Complex payroll, accounting, or jurisdiction-specific calculations may require additional inputs.

How are fees set?

By the question, documents, urgency and deliverable. We confirm scope and fees before work; additional work is agreed separately.

How is my information handled?

Confidentially under professional and privacy obligations, subject to legally required or permitted disclosures. Agree the secure handling method before sharing originals or highly sensitive information.

Does advice include representation?

Representation begins with an agreed engagement covering the responsible lawyer, forum, work and fees. Filing, appearances, notarisation and negotiation are included when agreed. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law and decisions of the competent authority.
