    Navigating UAE Employment Requirements with Pinsent Masons


    ABOUT THE EVENT

    Employment law challenges rarely arise at convenient times. They surface when contracts need to be reviewed, employee issues escalate, or termination decisions must be made quickly, often with limited room for error.

    This full-day employment law workshop, led by international law firm Pinsent Masons, focuses on how UAE employment law is applied in real workplace situations, providing clear, practical direction when it matters most.

    The session builds on a proven format that has been attended by over 500 professionals across previous employment law workshops since 2021, reflecting continued demand from HR, legal and business leaders seeking practical guidance.

    The workshop cuts through complexity to help you manage employees with greater confidence, consistency and compliance.

    In this workshop, you will:

    • Understand how UAE employment law affects day-to-day people management decisions
    • Clarify grey areas in contracts, benefits and employee management
    • Gain practical guidance on handling grievances, investigations and terminations
    • Learn how to reduce exposure to disputes, penalties and litigation

    This workshop is ideal for those responsible for staff management and compliance who want clarity, not theory.
