About this data

Our salary intelligence is compiled from four primary recruitment agency salary guides — Taylor Root Private Practice Middle East 2025–26, Taylor Root In-House Middle East 2024, Collins Search GCC Legal Market Report 2025, and Robert Walters Middle East Salary Survey 2025 — supplemented by 15+ secondary sources including market interviews and job posting analysis.

Private practice figures represent total fixed compensation packages (base salary plus contractual allowances such as housing and transport). In-house figures represent base salary before discretionary bonuses. All figures are monthly unless stated otherwise. Saudi Arabia and Qatar roles typically command a 15–25% premium over equivalent UAE positions.

Each salary band carries a confidence rating — high (multiple corroborating sources), medium (single authoritative source), or low (extrapolated from related data). We update this data quarterly as new salary guides are published.
