Criminal & Cybercrime Cases
Specialized criminal defense including cybercrime, drug offenses, and traffic crimes.
We provide defence and representation through investigation, trial and available appeal stages, subject to the safeguards and procedures of current UAE criminal legislation.
Cybercrime is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes and covers offences including unlawful access, electronic fraud, attacks on data, impersonated accounts and certain content offences.
Drug and traffic cases depend on the precise act, circumstances, evidence and prior record. No fixed penalty should be assumed before the file is reviewed.
