Is personal bankruptcy in the UAE legal?

Yes. The procedure is established by UAE insolvency legislation and applied by the courts. Lucent Legal supports 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 the lawyers will tell you honestly which scenarios apply to your situation.

How long does bankruptcy in the UAE take?

From several months — the timeline depends on the amount, the number of creditors and the stage at which you reach out. After the review you get a realistic plan for the timeline.

Do you guarantee the result?

No one can guarantee a court's decision. Lucent Legal guarantees an honest assessment of your position before the start: if the case isn't worth pursuing, the lawyers will say so directly.

How is confidentiality ensured?

The dialog on the site, 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 with a legal issue in Dubai?

Describe your situation in your own words in the dialog on the Lucent Legal page. A lawyer will study it and contact you personally — with an assessment of your position and a plan of action.

First I look at whether you have a case. If you don't, I'll say so straight away — not after you've paid.

The Lucent group

Four arms, one client.

People and companies living in the UAE rarely arrive with a single question. A visa drags a tenancy behind it; a company drags a bank account and a car. The four arms cover that together.
