Frequently asked questions

Is Lexoford a law firm?

No. Lexoford Services is not a law firm. Legal work is delivered by Lexoford's partner legal practice — a licensed practitioner within the Lexoford partnership — and Lexoford manages scope, timeline and communication.

Do you provide litigation support or court staffing?

No. Lexoford does not offer litigation-support staffing, e-discovery staffing, or court representation as a product. Corporate legal work is delivered by a partner licensed practice; court litigation representation is out of scope or referral-only.

How is this different from hiring a Dubai law firm?

Lexoford Services is not a law firm and does not appear in court as your counsel. You engage Lexoford to coordinate scope, timeline and communication. Legal work is delivered by Lexoford's partner legal practice. If you need a law firm as counsel of record, say so on consult.

Are the AED 3,999 / 4,999 / 7,999 service-fee tiers legal retainers?

No. Those figures are Lexoford company-formation service fees only (Starter / Business / Premium). Free-zone and government fees are billed at cost, no markup. Legal retainers (Essential / Professional / Enterprise) are quoted separately. Trademark and other authority fees are extra. Lexoford does not guarantee bank or visa approval.

What do retainers include?

Monthly contract reviews, routine consultations and compliance checks, scaled across three tiers from startup to enterprise. Scope and fees are quoted in writing.

Can you register our trademark?

Trademark clearance and registration with the UAE Ministry of Economy is handled by Lexoford's partner legal practice. Government fees are extra. This is coordination of a filing, not a guarantee of registration.
