Introduction
Legal protection of the interests in the UAE cannot be achieved through the reactive legal response to the occurrence of disputes. It requires active approaches, full knowledge of the laws in the UAE, and the services of a legal advisor, able to foresee issues and turn them into critical problems. Dr. Hassan Mohsen Elhais is a lawyer who has established a good reputation in Dubai as one of the most successful lawyers in the state because of his work over the last 18 years of assisting clients in safeguarding their legal interests in personal, business, and family issues. His strategy involves both proactive legal planning and assertive representation in cases where a disagreement is inevitable so that the interests of the clients are not compromised at any point.
Knowing the UAE Legal Environment.
The UAE legal system has distinctive peculiarities that cannot be passed without particular knowledge. This system brings a combination of civil law and the Islamic Shariah law to establish a legal system that does not work the same as the common law jurisdictions that many expatriates are used to. Such a two-sided character implies that legal protection of interests is impossible without consideration of the written laws and regulations, as well as the interpretation and application of these laws in court.
The high academic qualification of Dr. Hassan Elhais, a Ph.D. in Law with a specialization in the civil law and Shariah principles at Monofiya University, offers him the overall knowledge of covering the interest of the clients in both the systems. Thousands of cases in various areas of the law have added to this knowledge, and his 19 years of actual experience have added to this insight.
The UAE has undergone a fast rate of legal development and modernization especially in the past years when the country has enacted new laws in order to diversify its economy and to invite foreign investment. These constant developments imply that in order to secure legal interests, it is necessary to keep pace with changes in the legislation, new regulations, and new judicial interpretations. Constant professional growth is another strength of Dr. Elhais as he has enrolled in training courses with the Law Society of England and Wales and International Association of Lawyers.
