Team moves, restrictive covenants and workforce protection in UAE jurisdictions

This session will examine how the very important topics of team moves, restrictive covenants and protecting your workforce are rapidly developing in practice within the 3 separate jurisdictions of the DIFC, ADGM and UAE (including onshore and non financial free zones).

We will discuss the challenges employers are seeing more frequently, the people challenges associated with managing sensitive allegations and the steps organisations can take to strengthen internal processes and build confidence in nurturing and retaining their key people and a strong culture.

Each session offers practical guidance for employers and will conclude with a live Q&A. Participants are also welcome to submit questions in advance via email. 

This webinar forms part of a three part webinar series Middle East Employment Law in 2026 led by our Middle East employment law specialists. The series explores the very hot topic of restrictive covenants, emerging discrimination and investigation issues, and unpacks the latest employment law developments across key Middle East jurisdictions. Each session offers practical guidance for employers and will conclude with a live Q&A. Find out more about the two other sessions by exploring the ‘related events’ tab. ​
