BaghdadiLaw’s experience in service contract in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to service agreements, with practical knowledge of turning a scope of work into obligations, acceptance criteria and clear payment and change procedures. A service contract should distinguish the agreed job from later additions and the promised result from the client's expectations. For UAE work, clear scope, acceptance and payment records make it easier to assess completion and resolve disagreements.
A UAE service agreement should make the promised work measurable through scope, acceptance and change control. Civil Transactions Law 25/2025 is relevant to contractual obligations, with special professional or sector rules where applicable. A broad best-efforts description and a guaranteed commercial result should not be treated as equivalent promises. Compare the deliverables with acceptance criteria, change requests and completion evidence. Distinguish work outside scope from corrections to agreed work before calculating additional fees.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify acceptance for incomplete criteria, price genuinely added work through change control, and require correction where the original deliverable is deficient. Separate a revised future scope from settlement of payment already earned. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A scope-and-acceptance schedule and contract comments identifying measurable deliverables, approved changes and the payment consequences of incomplete work.

Before requesting advice on service contract in the UAE
How do you distinguish extra services from unfinished work?+
Compare the original scope and acceptance criteria with the requested change. Record who instructed or approved it, the added work and the price agreement; correcting a deficient original deliverable is a different question from an approved expansion.
Can a client reject work without agreed acceptance criteria?+
The absence of a checklist does not eliminate the dispute. Compare the promised purpose, communications and actual output; identify a specific shortcoming instead of relying only on dissatisfaction.
Who pays for work requested outside the scope?+
Review who requested it, their authority and any price or time agreement. A dated change record helps distinguish an approved addition from correction of defective original work.
