Bureau pour le Moyen-Orient

Three pillars of success:
law, culture & strategy

Le Moyen-Orient offre un large éventail d'opportunités commerciales.
‍
Success depends on balancing legal requirements, strategic decisions, and cultural awareness.At International Legal Safeguard, we help you find that balance.

Gulf contracts are not one-size-fits-all

Chaque pays dispose de son propre cadre juridique spécifique régissant les contrats commerciaux, les appels d'offres et le droit du travail.

Local jurisdiction clauses are common, but their interpretation may be complex. Foreign companies should ensure legal clarity and be mindful of potential conflicts with Sharia principles or local practices.

Understanding these differences is key to avoiding costly surprises.

GCC employment rules — and country-specific

Le système Kafala du CCG lie les visas aux employeurs, ce qui peut entraîner des déséquilibres de pouvoir. Les employeurs doivent s'y retrouver avec prudence pour bénéficier d'un traitement équitable et se conformer à la loi.

From employment contracts to dispute resolution and end-of-service benefits — understanding the specific requirements in each jurisdiction is essential for staying compliant and avoiding penalties.

We help you manage these differences with clear, tailored advice for every GCC country you do business in.

Législation du travail dans les pays du CCG

Le système Kafala du CCG lie les visas aux employeurs, ce qui peut entraîner des déséquilibres de pouvoir. Les employeurs doivent s'y retrouver avec prudence pour bénéficier d'un traitement équitable et se conformer à la loi.

Il est essentiel de comprendre les lois du travail spécifiques. Le non-respect du règlement des litiges peut entraîner des conséquences juridiques. Les contrats doivent être conformes aux normes culturelles et aborder avec soin les heures de travail, les pratiques religieuses et les indemnités de vacances.

Nos services

No local knowledge, no winning bid

Certains appels d'offres publics favorisent les entreprises locales ou les coentreprises, ce qui pose des défis aux entreprises étrangères. Une navigation réussie passe par la prise en compte des partenariats.

Many tenders favor local companies or joint ventures. Without knowing the local rules, even a strong bid can be disqualified.

At International Legal Safeguard, we help you meet local requirements, form strategic partnerships, and stay compliant — so your bid stands a real chance.

International contracts

Au Moyen-Orient, et en particulier dans les pays arabes du Golfe, les contrats vont au-delà des termes juridiques ; ils impliquent des compréhensions mutuelles tacites cruciales dans un contexte commercial. Un contrat mal conçu peut entraîner des malentendus, l'échec des négociations et des problèmes juridiques.

A contract that looks fine on paper can still fail in practice if it misses the local nuance. That can mean broken deals, misunderstandings, or even legal disputes.

At International Legal Safeguard, we help you avoid those risks. With region-specific expertise, we draft clear, effective contracts that align with both legal standards and local business culture — ensuring stronger partnerships and fewer surprises.

Legal compliance in employment contracts

Il est essentiel de garantir le respect des contrats de travail au Moyen-Orient. La non-conformité peut entraîner des problèmes juridiques, des amendes et nuire à la réputation de votre entreprise.

At International Legal Safeguard, we help you stay compliant and avoid problems — with contracts that work.
