Temporary & Project Hires
Expertise on Demand: The Right Lawyer, Right When You Need It.
In today’s fast-moving business environment, organisations across the UAE and Middle East often face sudden demands for legal expertise. Whether due to a major project, regulatory change, maternity cover, or an unexpected absence, companies frequently require immediate access to experienced legal professionals. As a specialist legal recruitment firm in the UAE and Middle East, Collins Search provides interim and temporary legal recruitment solutions that enable businesses to secure skilled lawyers quickly and efficiently.
Temporary lawyers offer a flexible and practical solution for organisations that need immediate legal support without committing to a permanent hire. Through our legal recruitment network across the UAE and wider Middle East, we place experienced Legal Counsel, Senior Legal Advisors, and compliance professionals who can integrate quickly into existing teams and provide immediate value. This ensures continuity across legal operations, protects ongoing projects, and helps organisations navigate complex regulatory and commercial challenges with confidence.
Our interim legal recruitment services are particularly valuable for businesses managing periods of transition. Temporary legal professionals can support organisations while a permanent legal recruitment search is underway, bridging the gap between a departing lawyer and a new hire joining the business. In some cases, companies also use interim legal placements as an opportunity to assess a lawyer’s long-term fit within their legal team before making a permanent appointment.
From Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Riyadh, Doha and Bahrain, Collins Search supports businesses across the Middle East with fast, discreet and highly targeted legal recruitment solutions, helping organisations access experienced legal talent exactly when it is needed most.
How to Hire Temporary Lawyers
-
You can hire someone on a temporary basis as a direct employee of your business, on a fixed-term contract. This is as easy as hiring someone permanently, as all contracts in the UAE are fixed term (maximum of 3 years) so you can dictate a shorter initial length to fit your requirement.
-
Similarly to a law firm, you can engage a consultant as an external secondee via Collins Search. Resultantly, you don’t need to worry about headcount, nationalization targets, or other challenges regional businesses face.
We manage the entirety of this, all you do is select the right person (like in a permanent search) and we handle the rest.
-
If the consultant you choose to hire has a freelance visa or runs their own consultancy practice, you can engage them directly or as an external secondee.
