The Disengagement Letter is a critical document used in the United Arab Emirates business environment to formally conclude professional service relationships. It becomes necessary when either party wishes to terminate the professional engagement, whether due to project completion, change in service requirements, or other circumstances. The document must comply with UAE federal laws, including UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Transactions Law) and relevant professional regulations. A properly drafted Disengagement Letter protects both parties by clearly documenting the termination date, handling of ongoing matters, document retention requirements, and any surviving obligations. It also addresses practical considerations such as final billing, handover procedures, and confidentiality requirements, while maintaining professional standards and relationships in accordance with UAE business practices.
