Temporary & Project Hires

Expertise on Demand: The Right Lawyer, Right When You Need It.

Today's business world is characterized by rapid changes and unforeseen demands, often leading to an immediate need for skilled legal expertise. Whether it's an unexpected project requiring specialized legal knowledge, maternity covers, or an unforeseen absence due to sick leave, businesses often find themselves in urgent need of competent legal professionals to bridge the gap. Temporary lawyers offer a flexible and efficient solution to these challenges, providing businesses with the expertise they need to navigate complex legal landscapes without the commitment of a permanent hire. This option not only ensures continuity in legal operations but also maintains the momentum of ongoing projects, safeguarding a company's legal interests and compliance.

Moreover, the use of temporary lawyers can complement an ongoing search for permanent legal staff, offering businesses a plug between someone resigning and the new hire joining, or even the unique advantage of evaluating a lawyer's fit within their organization before making a long-term commitment. We’re able to do this across the Middle East, in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, and Bahrain.

How to Hire Temporary Lawyers

  • You can hire someone on a temporary basis as a direct employee of your business, on a fixed-term contract. This is as easy as hiring someone permanently, as all contracts in the UAE are fixed term (maximum of 3 years) so you can dictate a shorter initial length to fit your requirement.

  • Similarly to a law firm, you can engage a consultant as an external secondee via Collins Search. Resultantly, you don’t need to worry about headcount, nationalization targets, or other challenges regional businesses face.

    We manage the entirety of this, all you do is select the right person (like in a permanent search) and we handle the rest.

  • If the consultant you choose to hire has a freelance visa or runs their own consultancy practice, you can engage them directly or as an external secondee.
