Why clients take this path with us
Reliability
A written engagement, regular reporting and follow-through. A single call that leaves the file behind is not how we work; you see each stage in writing.
Two legal systems
An Iranian attorney and a licensed UAE advocate sit on the same file, so neither Iranian nor UAE law is ignored.
The client’s right
The aim is not a theatrical judgment. It is your capital, time and residency position.
Three languages, one standard
Documents are explained in Persian and drafted in Arabic and English to the same legal standard.
How we work with clients
Transparent and staged. Nothing is left implied: after the initial review, scope, next steps and the fee frame are confirmed in writing.
01
First conversation
You raise the matter by phone or form. Counsel take the outline of the file and give you an initial view and a proposed path.
02
Papers and opinion
You send the contract, receipts, power of attorney or correspondence. A written note sets out risks, options and a fee range.
03
Mandate and action
After you agree, a tightly drawn mandate is signed. Drafting, negotiation or a claim starts, with progress reports.
04
Through to the result
From Dubai forums to coordination in Tehran, we stay with the file until a judgment is executed or a settlement is signed.
Bita Mousavi Legal Group
Dr. Bita Mousavi
Attorney-at-Law and Legal Counsel in the UAE
I am Bita Mousavi, an Iranian attorney-at-law, and I have practised in Iran for nearly two decades. A file is never only a legal issue; it is part of a client’s life, capital and peace of mind. Defending those rights is a professional and personal commitment.
My practice is commercial law, transport, oil and gas and, in particular, real estate — sale, lease and cross-border property investment. For years I have acted as legal counsel and deputy with a Dubai firm of licensed UAE advocates that has served Iranians for more than 25 years.
About usTwo offices, one team
A presence in both Tehran and Dubai means your document is read in both cities — without waiting on the time difference, and without a translator standing between you and the text. Phone, WhatsApp and the consultation form reach one team.

Information is available to everyone. What changes an outcome is knowledge earned on real — and sometimes expensive — files, not rewritten from public sources.
We have watched compatriots lose hundreds of thousands of dirhams because they trusted a sales agent’s verbal promise, signed an open power of attorney, or skipped the SPA termination clause. We write this so you do not pay that tuition.
Investing or living in another country without counsel who knows the local law is walking in the dark. We have put a light on that path.
Case studies and legal guides
Analysis drawn from real files — not recycled public sources. Written to help you decide before you sign.
Seven legal mistakes Iranian buyers make in Dubai
From signing the reservation form to trusting a sales agent’s verbal promise — errors that burn six-figure dirham sums before title ever moves.

Direct answers to the questions most people ask before they call.
How do I request advice?
Use the consultation form, phone or WhatsApp. After the initial review, scope and next steps are confirmed in writing.
Can you act if I am outside the UAE?
In most matters, yes. With a limited power of attorney and a licensed UAE advocate, many steps proceed without you travelling.
In which languages do you draft?
Explanation is in Persian. Formal instruments and contracts are drawn in Arabic, English or all three, to the same standard.
Do you also practise in Iran?
Yes. The Tehran office covers Iranian court work, Iran–UAE contracts and coordination on enforcing outcomes.
How are fees set?
After the initial review we confirm the scope and fee in writing. There are no hidden charges.
Does this firm replace a licensed UAE advocate?
No. Where rights of audience in UAE forums are required, our licensed Emirati counsel appears and Persian-speaking counsel run the file.
