BaghdadiLaw’s experience in consultancy contract in the UAE

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to consultancy agreements, with detailed knowledge of professional advice, deliverables, permitted reliance and the associated allocation of responsibility. A consultancy engagement needs to identify the decision the advice supports and the information on which it relies. UAE-related review distinguishes the report from implementation, identifies permitted users and prevents an advisory fee from concealing an undefined wider task.

Consultancy work connected to the UAE should distinguish an advisory opinion from implementation, filing and regulated professional activity. The agreed reliance, assumptions and permitted users matter under the contractual framework; the contract should not imply that a consultant holds a UAE professional permission that has not been established. Keep the engagement letter, advice delivered and assumptions supplied by the client together. Identify whether the dispute concerns missing advice, its agreed scope or a business outcome outside the assignment.

We agree the work your matter needs: Where missing inputs undermine the opinion, obtain them or narrow its assumptions and permitted reliance. Where the dispute concerns a promised deliverable, compare correction with a defined fee adjustment; implementation support should be commissioned separately if outside the original scope. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An engagement-scope review and proposed reliance wording explaining the consultant's inputs, promised output and tasks requiring separate agreement.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on consultancy contract in the UAE

Does a consultancy contract guarantee the recommended business outcome?

The deliverable, assumptions and standard of work should be clear. Review the information supplied, permitted reliance and responsibility for decisions; a promised report and a promised business result must not be confused.

Does a report include implementation assistance automatically?

No. Identify whether revisions, negotiations or implementation are included in the engagement. Define an additional task before relying on an advisory fee as covering it.

Can an affiliate rely on advice addressed to another company?

Check the intended recipient and permitted reliance. Different facts or a restricted circulation clause can require an updated scope and express permission.
