DubaLaw legal case management software for UAE law firms

To choose legal case management software in the UAE, check five things: full Arabic and right-to-left support, handling of onshore, DIFC and ADGM matters in one system, VAT-compliant invoicing, where your data is kept and who can see it, and whether the vendor tells you what it costs. A tool built for another market often misses two or three of these. DubaLaw is built for UAE law firms and advocate chambers around all five.

The criteria

What to Check Before You Buy

  • 1. Arabic and right-to-left support

    Ask to see a real Arabic case file, not only a translated menu. Check that the screens flip to right-to-left, that Arabic names and drafts display correctly and that court documents can be produced in Arabic. DubaLaw is available in Arabic and English, with template matching for Arabic legal drafting.

  • 2. Onshore, DIFC and ADGM in one system

    Many UAE firms appear before the onshore courts, the DIFC Courts and the ADGM Courts. Look for a system that records the jurisdiction and court for each matter and keeps one firm-wide calendar. DubaLaw runs DIFC and ADGM matters on their own case tracks next to onshore matters.

  • 3. VAT invoices and case billing

    UAE invoices need correct VAT and your client's tax number. Check that invoices link to the case, that expenses are tracked per matter and that you can report on revenue and outstanding amounts. DubaLaw covers billing, time tracking, case expenses, invoices and financial reports.

  • 4. Data residency and access control

    Ask where data is stored, how it is backed up, who can open which file and whether every change is logged. Client files are confidential, so role-based access and an audit trail matter. DubaLaw uses data residency parameters that map to UAE cyber-governance mandates, role-based access and an audit trail.

  • 5. Pricing and the people behind it

    Prefer a vendor that explains how pricing works, offers a live demo on your own workflow and has a local team that answers the phone. DubaLaw starts from AED 100 per user per month, with a final quote based on your firm's size and needs.
