Most law firm websites still say Sharjah uses federal courts. That changed in 2024. Sharjah established its own Judicial Council and Judiciary Platform — a new independent system that most lawyers are not yet fully familiar with. We are.
Since fall 2024, Sharjah has its own Judicial Council and independent court structure — separate from the UAE federal system it previously used. The Sharjah Judiciary Platform integrates all court services digitally. Three tiers: Court of First Instance → Court of Appeal → Court of Cassation. All proceedings in Arabic.
For cases that reach the highest level of appeal, or for matters involving federal law across emirates, the Federal Supreme Court in Abu Dhabi has jurisdiction. We handle both Sharjah-level and federal-level proceedings for our clients.
Divorce, custody, khula, maintenance and inheritance for Muslim families are handled by Sharia-based Personal Status Courts in Sharjah. Sharjah is known as a conservative emirate — procedures and outcomes in family matters can differ from Dubai. We are experienced in Sharjah family court proceedings.
Criminal matters in Sharjah begin at Sharjah Police stations or the Sharjah Public Prosecution. Early legal intervention before a charge is filed is often the most critical stage. We attend Sharjah Police stations 24/7 for urgent criminal matters.
Sharjah has several major free zones — SAIF Zone (Sharjah Airport International Free Zone), Hamriyah Free Zone, and Sharjah Media City (Shams). Each has its own dispute resolution mechanisms for business and employment matters within the free zone. We advise on which forum applies to your matter.
