Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
I have a job offer in Dubai. Can you review the contract?
Yes. We can review the offer and contract with you, explain key terms such as probation, notice and end-of-service, and flag points worth raising with the employer before you sign.
My employer has not paid my end-of-service gratuity. What can I do?
Gather your contract, payslips and any correspondence, then speak with us about the timeline and the options for raising the claim. Acting promptly helps.
Can I start the conversation from Fiji?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Fiji or the UAE. Keep it brief and avoid confidential documents until an engagement is agreed. An enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
Do you advise on the law of Fiji?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Fiji, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
