Public Relations Officer (PRO)
Dubai
Full Time,
Flexibility Required

Are you a seasoned Public Relations Officer ready for
your next challenge within a dynamic, international organisation? If
you have a proven track record of delivering exceptional PRO support
and navigating UAE government processes with confidence, we'd love
to hear from you.

We are seeking an experienced PRO to provide
comprehensive support to our Middle Eastern offices in Dubai and Abu
Dhabi. This role is based in our Dubai office and plays a key part
in ensuring seamless regulatory, visa, and government
-
related operations across the region.

Our Firm

Squire Patton Boggs is one of the world's strongest integrated law
firms, committed to providing insight at the point where law, business
and government meet. We deliver commercially focused business
solutions to a diverse mix of clients, from long-established leading
corporations to emerging businesses, start-up visionaries and
sovereign nations. With over 1,500 lawyers spanning more than 40
offices across four continents, the firm is renowned for its local
connections and global influence, delivering comprehensive legal
services across North America, the UK and Europe, the Middle East,
Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

Our Team

Our Partners and Lawyers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
practice a broad range of areas such as International Dispute
Resolution, Corporate, and Labor & Employment. We represent
global corporates, government departments, government-owned
entities, private businesses, family offices and individuals across
the seven Emirates, as well as international clients with interests
in the UAE and the MENA region. You will join our excellent support
team based in Dubai, who cover everything from secretarial services
to finance and billing, to support our lawyers in delivering the
best service to their clients.

Our Opportunity

Reporting into our Dubai Office Manager, the core focus for this role
is to ensure the firm's licences, registrations, and legal documents
are accurately maintained and renewed in line with UAE regulatory
timelines. This includes overseeing the complete process of visa and
work permit applications, renewals, and cancellations, the complete
process for DLAD registrations, renewals and cancellations, and other
related processes and documentation to ensure our employees and
partners can work and practice in the UAE. You will also have the
opportunity to provide PRO support direct to our clients where appropriate.

You

You will need to be highly organised and a
self-starter, with excellent communication skills as you will be
responsible for managing all interactions with UAE government
entities. Experience in a similar role is desirable,
preferably in a law firm, and an understanding of the UAE compliance
requirements, immigration policies and labour laws is a must in this role.

Due to the varied and busy nature of this role, you must have the
drive to focus on a number of different projects and ensure that all
deadlines are met so project management skills are essential. The
ability to track and proactively manage expiries for visas, licences,
permits, and corporate documents is key, therefore you will need to be
a proactive, hands-on and organised individual who can work
independently and use their own initiative.
