Fantastic experience with Ludmila Yamalova and Anna. Well prepared, practical and straight to the point. Clear, no-nonsense advice and guidance when I needed it most. Highly recommended. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again, though I hope I won’t need to.
Excellent experience. All of my questions answered and good advice given. I was a little wary of the time going over but that was not a worry. Personable and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
The session with attorney Ludmila Yamalova was excellent. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and carefully analysed my situation, as well as the possible solutions available to me. At the end of the meeting, she also provided me with a contact number in case of any urgent matters. I’m truly grateful for her support and professionalism. I look forward to contacting them again soon!

FAQ about LYLAW
Is HPL Yamalova & Plewka FZCO also the name of your law firm?

Do I need a lawyer for legal matters in Dubai?
You need a lawyer for anything beyond routine paperwork in Dubai. The UAE runs a civil-law system with court proceedings in Arabic, and Dubai splits across separate jurisdictions: onshore courts apply UAE federal law, while the DIFC and ADGM run independent English-language common-law courts.
A qualified lawyer identifies which system governs your matter, drafts contracts enforceable in the right court, and represents you in proceedings you could not manage alone.
How do I choose the best lawyers in Dubai?
To choose the right lawyer in Dubai, check a few things before you sign. Identify your jurisdiction first: onshore Dubai courts are Arabic-language civil-law courts, while the DIFC and ADGM are English-language common-law courts.
For onshore litigation, a foreign-qualified firm can review your matter and advise on strategy, but only UAE-national advocates have rights of audience in the local courts. For DIFC and ADGM matters, registered legal consultants including foreign-qualified lawyers can represent you directly.
What legal services does LYLAW offer?
LYLAW offers civil, criminal, family, business, and estate legal services for individuals, families, and companies across the UAE. This covers everything from company formation and contract disputes to divorce, criminal defence, wills, immigration, and real estate. The firm acts before the onshore Dubai courts and advises on DIFC common-law matters.
Does LYLAW provide legal services across the UAE?
Yes, LYLAW provides legal services throughout the UAE, both directly and through a network of local advocates. The firm is licensed as a legal consultancy by the Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department (Ruler's Court), registered with the DMCC, licensed before the DIFC Courts, and managed by Ms. Ludmila Yamalova, a U.S.-qualified attorney admitted to the California State Bar.
How will I be kept informed about my case?
You will be kept informed through updates at every key stage of your case, including filings, hearings, and court decisions, with a dedicated contact who knows your matter. The firm communicates primarily by email and is available to meet whenever you need to discuss your case in person.
Can I communicate with LYLAW in a language other than English?
Yes, LYLAW's team speaks Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, French, and several other languages alongside English, so clients can discuss their matters in their own language. Written and email communication is conducted primarily in English.
