About us
UAE law — on your side.
Lucent Legal is the legal arm of the Lucent group. We work with business owners and private investors for whom the UAE is not just a jurisdiction, but the place where their assets, partnerships and reputation are concentrated.
We cover the full field of UAE law — from company formation and licensing to bankruptcy, litigation and asset protection. One entry point, one accountable team, insider knowledge of local practice — our goal is to be the go-to legal partner for international business in Dubai.
Every case starts with a confidential review: we honestly assess your position, the risks and the scenarios — and only then propose a strategy. We work with recommended lawyers and advocates licensed in the UAE.

Past results don't guarantee your outcome.
The results described relate to specific cases and their own facts. The outcome of any case depends on the facts and the court's position — past results are not a promise or a guarantee of a similar outcome in your case.Client reviews
Our clients say it best.
They patiently explained every step of the procedure and told me honestly what to expect. Collections stopped within the first month.
My partner was sure the company was already his. Six months later I had the signatures, the accounts and the management back.
What scared me most was the travel ban. It was lifted and the debt restructured — without going to court.
They checked the apartment deal down to the smallest detail and found a clause that would have cost me dearly.
Not a single email went unanswered. You feel your case is handled by people who genuinely care.
They started with an honest “the odds are 50/50” — and finished with a won case. That directness was exactly what I had been missing.

Questions & answers
Still have questions?
Is personal bankruptcy in the UAE legal?
Yes. The procedure is established by UAE insolvency legislation and applied by the courts. We support it end to end — from assessing the prospects to completion and lifting of restrictions.
What happens to my visa and my ability to leave the country?
It depends on the stage of the case: in many situations travel restrictions are lifted during the procedure. In a confidential review we will tell you honestly which scenarios apply to you.
How long does the procedure take?
From several months — the timeline depends on the amount, the number of creditors and the stage at which you come to us. After the review you get a realistic plan, not promises.
Do you guarantee the result?
No one can guarantee a court's decision — and we don't promise the impossible. What we do guarantee is an honest assessment of your position before we start: if the case isn't worth it, we say so directly.
How is confidentiality ensured?
The dialog on this site, your documents and the work on the case are never shared with third parties. Cases are made public only anonymously and only with the client's consent.
Where do I start?
Describe your situation in your own words in the dialog on this page. A lawyer will study it and contact you personally — with an assessment of your position and a plan of action.
