Contract templates for GCC legal teams
Free, bilingual contract templates for law firms and in-house legal teams across the GCC: employment, a resignation letter, a final settlement and release, residential lease, partnership, a memorandum of association, a memorandum of understanding, sale of goods, a supply agreement, NDA, power of attorney, settlement, a legal notice, statement of claim, statement of defence, a promissory-note checklist for the Saudi Nafith platform, and an AI use policy. Each one is an English and an Arabic Word file and PDF, with drafting notes and links to the official legislation. Where the law requires an official form or platform, the page sends you there first.
Which template do I need?
Use the employment contract for a private-sector hire in Saudi Arabia or the UAE, the resignation letter when that worker ends the contract in writing, and the final settlement when the sums and the release are agreed after the relationship ends. Use the residential lease for a home tenancy you will register on Ejar, Ejari or Tawtheeq, and the legal notice for a payment demand, an eviction, or notice before termination. Use the partnership, sale, supply or NDA templates for a commercial arrangement between two parties, and the memorandum of understanding to mark which clauses bind. Use the memorandum of association as a founders’ checklist before incorporation. Use the power of attorney, the settlement agreement, the statement of claim or the statement of defence when the question is authority or a dispute. Use the promissory-note page before creating an electronic note on Nafith. Use the AI use policy for a law firm or an in-house legal team.

Use the official form first
Several GCC employment contracts and leases must be created or registered on a government platform. Our templates help you prepare and negotiate the terms; the official contract is the one that counts.
How these templates are prepared
We draft each template from the official legislation and government platforms listed on its page, and check each legal statement against the official text on the review date. Where an official form or platform exists, we link to it and you should use it. Laws change; check the sources before use and have the final text reviewed by a licensed lawyer.
Not legal advice: These are templates, not legal advice. They do not create a lawyer–client relationship. Court rules, regulator guidance and laws change; check the official sources linked on each page and have each template reviewed by qualified counsel in each relevant jurisdiction. Have it reviewed by a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction before use. Where an official form or platform is mandatory, it prevails.
