Can I get free legal help in the UAE on LEXAI?

You can get free general legal information, not free legal advice. LEXAI's AI assistant answers UAE-law questions in plain English and Arabic at no cost, so you understand how the law generally applies to your situation — but that's information, not a consultation, and the AI is not a lawyer. For advice you can act on, browse the directory of UAE lawyers and create a free account to contact one through their profile. Each lawyer sets their own consultation fee, paid directly to the lawyer; LEXAI does not process consultation payments.

How does an online legal consultation work through LEXAI?

LEXAI lets you handle the first step online and for free: ask the AI assistant your question, then browse UAE legal professionals online and open the profile of one who handles your matter. To reach out, create a free account, then contact the lawyer directly through their profile to arrange a consultation. The consultation itself, its format, and its fee are set by that lawyer — LEXAI does not run, schedule, or charge for the consultation, and the fee is paid directly to the lawyer. You browse and connect online; the lawyer takes it from there.

Dispute Resolution Arbitration

Without Prejudice Meaning in the UAE: Settlement Offers and Legal Texts
