We are always interested in hearing from talented lawyers, trainees and business professionals who share our commitment to quality, collaboration and client service. At Shuaib Alsuwaidi Advocates And Legal Consultants you will work on sophisticated matters in a supportive, growth-focused environment.
If you are curious, commercially minded and ready to take ownership of your work, we would be pleased to hear from you.
We believe that high-performing teams are built on respect, clear feedback and continuous learning. Our culture balances demanding client work with a genuine interest in each person’s development and wellbeing.
We encourage open dialogue about workload, development goals and career path. Everyone has a voice, regardless of seniority.
Even at junior levels you will be trusted with meaningful work – drafting, research, direct client contact and attendance at hearings or negotiations where appropriate. Support is always available, but we want our team to grow into confident, trusted advisers as early as possible.
Below is a sample of current opportunities. Even if you do not see a perfect match, we welcome speculative applications from strong candidates with UAE or regional experience.
We are seeking a senior associate with strong experience in commercial and construction disputes before UAE courts and regional arbitration centres. Fluency in Arabic and English drafting is preferred.
This role involves advising on company formation, commercial contracts, joint ventures and M&A across onshore and free zone jurisdictions.
Our trainee programme offers rotations across disputes, corporate, employment and private client teams, providing broad exposure and structured feedback.
We regularly review speculative applications from experienced lawyers, business development professionals and legal operations specialists.

UAE or regional experience is preferred for mid- and senior-level roles, but we also consider international candidates with strong credentials and a genuine interest in building a long-term career in the UAE.
We work primarily in Arabic and English. For many roles, strong written and spoken English is essential. Arabic fluency is a significant advantage, particularly in disputes and court-facing work.
The process typically includes an initial screening, one or more interviews with partners and, for legal roles, a practical exercise such as a drafting task or case study. We aim to keep candidates informed at each stage.
From time to time we offer internships or trainee placements for promising students and recent graduates. If this is of interest, please apply using the form above and select Trainee / Paralegal or Speculative Application.
