The UAE is one of the most sought-after destinations for expatriates around the world. With its thriving economy, high standard of living, and a multitude of job opportunities, it is no surprise that the country attracts millions of people every year. Pakistanis are no exception to this trend, with over 1.5 million Pakistanis residing in the UAE. However, living in a foreign country comes with its own set of challenges, and often, these challenges manifest in legal disputes and issues.

Enter GCC Legal Consultants, a recently established legal consultant firm operating in the UAE that specialises in helping Pakistanis navigate the legal system and assisting them in issues arising out of a myriad of situations. GCC Legal Consultants has become a beacon of hope for many Pakistanis who find themselves struggling with legal issues in the UAE. With an in-house team of experienced lawyers and legal consultants, the firm has a vision to successfully resolve numerous cases for its clients, earning a reputation for being one of the most reliable and trustworthy legal consultants in the country. The UAE has strict laws and regulations, and sometimes, due to unforeseen circumstances, Pakistanis may find themselves on the wrong side of the law, often due to a lack of understanding of local customs and traditions. GCC Legal Consultants helps to bridge this gap by providing legal representation to clients and negotiating with the authorities to reduce fines and penalties.

Welcome News

On the auspicious occasion of the Pakistan Resolution Day, GCC Legal Consultants announced that it had secured the release of 500 Pakistanis, obtaining ‘Out Pass’ and air tickets and ensuring their safe return back to their homeland. In fact, the organisation said that around 35 to 40 Pakistanis had already successfully arrived home, bringing a smile and joy to the families that had been waiting for their return.

One such lucky individual is Mohsin A. M, a Pakistani who saw his ordeal end as he received his ‘Out Pass’ and air ticket through the support of GCC Legal Consultants. In his own words, it was a dream come true, and one that completely took him by surprise with how fast and smoothly everything was managed after trying for so long previously to no avail. He said: “I had been living jobless in Dubai for one and a half year. I had no job and no money to eat or to arrange for my out pass and air fare. I must thank GCC Legal Consultants who have arranged out pass for me and also paid for my air fare, as you can see. Now I can finally go home, and be with my loved ones.”

Mohsin is not the first nor is he the last as the organisation continues in its commitment to bridging a gap between those in need of help and the authorities.
